AI agents are increasingly adept at tackling complex, long-running tasks. With the rapid surge of autonomous capabilities, human oversight is systematically lagging behind due to limited human-centered interfacing. Aiming to address this, we introduce AgentGUI, a user-friendly, locally hosted GUI for seamlessly observing and steering AI agents amid multiple concurrent, long-running sessions. AgentGUI features 1) rich agent trajectory visualizations, 2) effective manual and automated steering, and 3) integration with and coordination between open-source and frontier agent frameworks. A controlled user study demonstrates statistically significant reduction in the time it takes to identify key elements from agent traces (38% faster, p = 0.023). In a preliminary experiment, AgentGUI's automated drift prevention feature raises the task completion rate of small local agents by as high as 34pp across a 0.8B--9B model ladder (N=50 runs per model). AgentGUI is publicly available through its project website (https://agent-gui-project.github.io) and open-source repository (https://github.com/eth-medical-ai-lab/agent-gui), along with a demo video (https://youtube.com/watch?v=GSDyxN1gTF0).
