AFK Pilot: control your Grok agent from any browser, $5/mo for unlimited
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-08-29
AFK Pilot lets you remotely control a Grok Build agent from any browser. The agent runs in VS Code or the standalone Grok Build Desktop; phones, tablets, or another machine pair via a one-time code — then you can chat, review, and steer the agent remotely, with no tunnels or config.
Privacy: messages are relayed in memory and never stored; images only, videos never leave your machine. Devices bind to your account and stay revocable server-side.
Pricing: Free tier covers 1 linked device and 100 remote messages/week (unlimited local; the VS Code extension is never limited); Remote Max at $5/month removes limits. Grok Build Desktop is free with no account.
The post also mentions an on-demand 8GB 4-core KVM host that sleeps when idle, wakes in 2-3s, costing cents for a 4-hour coding session.
