AFK Pilot Lets You Steer Grok, Codex and Claude Code from Any Browser
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-09-13
A developer launches AFK Pilot, connecting Grok Build, Codex and Claude Code to a browser on any device so you can chat, review and steer coding agents from your phone.
- Standout features: the author highlights two "obvious in hindsight" capabilities few agent GUIs implement—going back to a previous user prompt, and editing project files (e.g., .md) directly from your phone.
- Three forms: open-source VS Code/Cursor/Antigravity extension, an open-source desktop app, and a cloud option.
- Cloud machines: free preview offers a dedicated Linux VM (8 cores, 8GB RAM, 100GB storage) with all three agents preinstalled, persistent repos and logins, sleeping between sessions; later from $5/mo. Usage counts against your own agent subscriptions.
- Privacy: messages relayed in memory only; one-time pairing code, no tunnels or config.
