Controlling Home-PC Coding Agents From a Phone With gpt-5.6, Fully Open Source
DRONE_SIC · reddit · 2026-09-11
A Redditor shows an open-source setup for controlling Hermes Agent from a phone: since Hermes has no official mobile app, they used gpt-5.6 (mostly terra and, surprisingly, luna) to let a phone connect to agents running on their home PC, which can fully control the machine — similar to Grok Bot but self-hosted and open source (GitHub: CodeUpdaterBot). Demoed by pushing to prod from a bike on a cliff by the beach.
