Glim

Living companions for AI product UIs.

One four-state mind — idle, thinking, talking, listening — and a small menagerie of hand-built creatures. Zero dependencies. Drop it into any page or bundle.

Install

npm i @axaylabs/glim

Or skip the package manager and load the file:

<script src="https://getglim.dev/glim.js"></script>

Quick start

const { Glim } = require('@axaylabs/glim');
// or: import { Glim } from '@axaylabs/glim';
// or: window.Glim from a <script> tag

const p = Glim.mount(document.getElementById('host'), 'wisp', {
  size: 160,
  theme: 'signal', // signal | aurora | ember | mono | bloom | deep
});

p.setState('thinking'); // idle | thinking | talking | listening
p.say('hey — still with you.');
p.react(0.8);           // acknowledgment pulse
p.setTheme('aurora');
p.on('state', (s) => console.log(s));
// p.destroy();

Why Glim

Most AI UIs go quiet while the model thinks. Glim keeps a presence on screen — the same mind, different bodies — so your product feels alive without shipping another chat widget.
