The UX Where Humans and Agents Shape Visual Work Together

Chat is the right UX for directing agent-driven creative work. But it isn't built to hold the state of that work.

So I built Lineage to move creative state out of the session and into one durable visual workspace.

From agent to canvas Turn agent output into visual creative history. Every new asset joins the lineage instead of disappearing into a chat.
Context stays connected Keep the reasoning behind the visual work. Prompts, branches, and decisions remain attached to every result.
One shared creative state Humans and agents continue from the same place. New agent work returns to the canvas, ready for the next decision.

Lineage preserves every asset, path, prompt, relationship, and decision in a shared record—precise enough for agents to retrieve through the CLI and organized visually for humans to review and direct.

Context travels both ways. The agent writes the work into Lineage. The human shapes what happens next.

Select any useful point in the visual lineage, branch or reroll from it, and bring that exact context into the next agent session. The work—and the history behind it—survives the chat.

Lineage is local-first, MIT licensed, and open source on GitHub. I built it for OpenAI Build Week with GPT-5.6 Sol in Codex.
