What is ai-office-react?

AI Office React is a standalone frontend that shows an animated office scene full of small character figures, built with Vite and React. The author describes it as a visual reference: clicking on a character brings up a menu, but other buttons in the interface do not do anything yet, since the project is meant as a style and layout sample rather than a finished application. The README also notes that the artwork assets may have their own copyright, so anyone reusing them should check that first. To run it, you install dependencies and start the dev server with npm. Doing so launches two things at once: the Vite frontend itself, and a small HTTP action gateway that listens on port 8765 by default. External systems can send actions to this gateway by making an HTTP POST request to its address, and the frontend picks up new actions by polling that endpoint and then plays them out on screen. You can point the frontend at a different action address using an environment variable, run the action gateway on its own, or change which port it listens on. The project defines a few message types you can send to the gateway. A desk visit message makes one character walk over to another character's desk and deliver a short message. A desk visit tour message does the same thing but across a sequence of desks in one go. A set state message changes what a given employee character is shown doing, along with a short text label describing their current task. Overall this is a small, focused visualization tool for driving an animated virtual office from an external system over HTTP, rather than a general purpose application in its own right. The README is written primarily in Chinese and includes a WeChat QR code for the author to be contacted about collaboration.
