What is VROOM?

VROOM is a protocol family and runtime for interactive sessions with AI agents, built on OpenMux, a transport-agnostic channel multiplexing standard.

VROOM comprises two companion protocols that can run over the same OpenMux connection:

Protocol	Spec	Description
VROOM-Graphical	VROOM-Graphical.md	Remote desktop/browser access — video, audio, mouse, keyboard, touch, voice commands
VROOM-Terminal	VROOM-Terminal.md	Terminal access — PTY, capability negotiation, Kitty keyboard/graphics, CBOR control plane

Loading

Architecture

• Single vroomd daemon supports both protocols simultaneously
• Shared OpenMux connection — graphical and terminal channels coexist
• Thin gateways (vroom-to-ssh, ssh-to-vroom) planned for adoption

Reference Implementation

The reference implementation is voxio-bot (being renamed to vroom-server), built on:

• Pipecat — AI pipeline framework (LLM, TTS, STT)
• aiortc — Python WebRTC implementation
• Playwright — Headless browser for agent screen rendering

Status

VROOM is in active development. Both protocols are draft and subject to change.
