AI DETECTION

AI Tab Branding

Claude is purple. Codex is green. Your tabs finally make sense.

AI Tab Branding is Chau7's feature that assigns each terminal tab a unique color and logo based on the AI agent running inside it.

The problem

  • When several AI sessions are open, identical tabs force you to click around just to find the right agent.
  • Colorless tab bars hide context that should be obvious at a glance.

What Chau7 does about it

  • Each supported agent gets a curated logo and brand color from the shared AI tool registry.
  • Tabs update live when an agent starts, changes, or exits in the same shell.
  • Non-AI tabs fall back to the default appearance automatically.
  • The same identity metadata is reused across the overlay and status views for consistent recognition.

How does Chau7 brand terminal tabs for AI agents?

When Chau7 detects an AI agent in a tab, it immediately applies that agent's brand identity to the tab button. Claude Code tabs turn purple with the Anthropic logo. Codex tabs go green with the OpenAI mark. Gemini tabs display Google blue. Each supported agent has a curated color and icon pairing inside Chau7.

Chau7's tab branding is dynamic. If an agent exits and another launches in the same tab, Chau7 updates the color and logo instantly. When no agent is active, the tab reverts to its default appearance. The transition is smooth and non-disruptive.

Is there a terminal with colored tabs for different AI tools?

Chau7 is a terminal with colored tabs for different AI tools. Each AI coding agent gets its own distinct color in the Chau7 tab bar, so you can identify Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other agents at a glance without reading tab titles.

Why Chau7's AI tab branding matters

You are running four AI agents and three shell sessions. They all look identical in every other terminal. Chau7 gives each agent its own color and logo in the tab bar so you can find the right session in a single glance.

AI Tab Branding in Chau7 is the kind of feature that sounds trivial until you realize you have been tab-hunting for months.
