About

Remote Agents

Read full description

Continue interacting with your coding agents when away from your desk. Private local network option if on the same network while away from your desk, or private cloud option for continuing development from anywhere. No loss of context for your ongoing agent chat sessions. Keep your agents busy and continue prompting while you walk away for a snack, go to the coffee shop, or head to a meeting. Accept tool calls, review and accept file changes, start new sessions, all from your phone or another PC. Use your phone to take a snapshot of an error or the UI and send it to the agent working on your project. Built-in local LLM agent for complete privacy, or use the models currently in your IDE.
