{"product_id":"status-light","title":"Status Light","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Status Light is a desktop AI agent status light: a three-lens traffic signal that shows at a glance whether a long-running agent task is still working, waiting on you, or finished.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is bright enough to read from the far side of a room, which is the point — you stop interrupting your own focus to alt-tab and check a terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Status Light?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chunky matte-black desk unit about the size of a chess piece, with three large domed lenses stacked vertically: red at the top, amber in the middle, green at the bottom. It stands on the desk unaided and needs no mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Status Light for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong agent runs create a bad habit. You switch to another task, then break your concentration every ninety seconds to check whether the run finished. A light in your peripheral vision removes the reason to look. Red, amber and green map naturally onto running, blocked and finished, though nothing forces that mapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use the Status Light?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower the Status Light over USB-C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint a hook or script at it — most people wire it to the start and end of an agent run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet red when the task starts, amber when the agent stops to ask a question, and green when it exits cleanly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlance at it instead of switching windows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStatus Light specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLenses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 — red, amber, green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB-C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatforms\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWindows and macOS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFree-standing, no bracket required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout the height of a chess piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFD-02\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Status Light compare?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Status Light and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/agent-pet\"\u003eAgent Pet\u003c\/a\u003e do the same job with opposite personalities. The Status Light is legible: three colours, no interpretation needed, readable from across the room. The Agent Pet is charming: it shows the same states as facial expressions and is far more likely to end up in someone's photo. Buy the light to be informed, the pet to be delighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the three colours mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever you assign them to. The common convention is red for a task running, amber for an agent waiting on your input, and green for a clean finish. They are three independently addressable lamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Status Light integrate with my agent automatically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It ships as hardware plus the manufacturer's utility. Mapping it to your specific agent's state is a few lines of glue you write once, typically in a start and stop hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Status Light need a battery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wired version runs from USB-C with no battery, which is the one we recommend. A rechargeable Bluetooth variant exists but contains a lithium cell, which restricts how it can be shipped by air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to know before buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is hardware plus a utility, not a finished integration. If you want something that recognises your agent with no configuration, wait for a later revision rather than buying this one and being disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips in 1–2 days · delivers in 7–12, tracked.\u003c\/strong\u003e You get the tracking link the minute it exists.
