With the power of AI, you can always have a presence at your computer. Stay productive, even when you are away from keyboard. Backed by Anthropic Claude CLI, you can connect your phone to your computer in a way that enhances your workflow and optimizes your output. Create a runner, choose a directory, and start a conversation with your AI. While its doing the work, you can be out and about doing something you love, and when the AI is done doing its work, it will send you a push notification, ready for the next task. Even when you are AFK, your AI is there for you at your computer, ready to execute. https://salamander.space/#terms
