Products that do what Chatcode – Remote Control for Claude Code and Codex does
Hey HN, what I wanted to build here is a proper universal layer for persisted agentic sessions, that could be seamlessly interacted both via web and a messenger (Telegram). I really like what's done so far and would be nice to hear some feedback from you. The interesting thing is that I started to use Chatcode during its development as soon it was possible, so used this tool to build itself. I know that there could be trust/privacy concerns, because it relies on a gateway that you need to install on your machine in order to work, but: 1. You can use it on any machine, just have some…

I built Vibe Remote because I wanted to code from my bed or the park without lugging a laptop around. With tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini-cli, we don't need a full IDE for every task anymore. Vibe Remote turns your phone into a powerful remote console. Why it’s more than just a chat: * AI Agent Hub: Zero-config support for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. * Built-in Web Preview: View your localhost services directly inside the app. Essential for UI debugging. * Full Session Management: Start a task on your Mac, grab your phone, and monitor progress from a cafe. * Dev Ops: Manage…

Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

Hey HN, Over the past 10 months I've been using Claude Code heavily, and one limitation kept coming up: you can really only run one coding agent at a time. While one agent is refactoring something, the rest of the repo is basically blocked unless you start manually juggling branches and working directories. The core issue is that AI coding agents operate directly in your filesystem. If two agents run in the same working directory they quickly start stepping on each other’s changes. Git worktrees turned out to be a surprisingly good primitive for solving this. So I built ChatML, a Desktop app…

I've been working on this internal project initially both to learn more Vibe-Coding but also to help our teams and projects to use AI more efficiently. As more people used it, it grew to support multiple teams/projects to analyze their Claude Code conversation and optimize them over time (understanding how to write better conversation with Claude Code and share knowledge between them) With time we added support for multiple Claude account management and monitor usage/rate limit. This is a simple project but has proved to be quite useful for our company. We have reached 5000+…

I was tired of asking my claude code to reference my codex chats to get references to what decisions it made and why ; so I built Reference MCP It, whenever prompted establishes sessions to get direct access - been using it on my system for a bit and was super helpful so I made a repo :) Would love feedback!

I've built VT Chat, a privacy-first AI chat application that keeps all your conversations local while providing advanced research capabilities and access to 15+ AI models including Claude 4 Sonnet and Claude 4 Opus, O3, Gemini 2.5 Pro and DeepSeek R1. Live: https://vtchat.io.vn | Source: https://github.com/vinhnx/vtchat The core difference is true local-first architecture. All chats are stored in IndexedDB with zero server storage. Your API keys never leave your browser, and I can't see them even as the developer. You can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google…

This weekend I built a multi-agent coding system which, quite unexpectedly, beat Claude Code on Stanford's Terminal Bench! The architecture is straightforward, consisting of an orchestrator agent that deploys explorer & coder subagents to complete complex terminal based tasks, utilising an intelligent context sharing mechanism along the way which makes it all work. The repo has a lot of technical details, and all the code and prompts for you to play around with if you'd like! I had a lot of fun making this, I hope you have fun reading the README, using it yourself, or even extending it! As…

Hey everyone, here is an open source project I've been working on to add voice input/output to terminal based coding agents. One thing about the new terminal coding agents I really like is being able to multi-task but right now it's a bit like a Tesla on autopilot needing your hands still on the wheel. You need to be checking often if your input is required or if it's going off the rails. To be able to go fully hands free I wanted to add TTS and ASR. Then I added slack and WhatsApp hooks to TalkiTo as well. It's fully open source with a BYOK philosophy and it's configured to work with…

Hello HN! I wanted to share a small MCP + web app I built to solve a problem at work. Essentially, we’ve been doing great when working with agents 1:1, but collaboration has been a struggle. E.g. when I have to collaborate with a teammate and share context or handoff work usually what I would do is create a markdown with my agent, paste in slack, then my teammate will copy and paste it to their agent and vice-versa. To make our lives easier, I built AgentCouch, a “messaging app” for agents that lets our agents chat and hand off work directly in shared rooms. Humans can also watch the…

I've been running Claude Code and Codex together every day. At some point I figured out you can use tmux to let them talk to each other, so I started doing that. Once they could coordinate, I kept adding more agents. Before long I had a whole team working together. But any time I rebooted my machine, the whole thing was gone. Not just the tabs. The way they were wired up, what each one was doing, all of it. Nothing I'd found treats your agent setup as a topology, as something with a shape you can save and bring back. So I built OpenRig, a multi-agent harness. A harness wraps a model. A "rig"…

I'm a solo founder building AMA2, a messaging runtime made for AI agents. This is my first Show HN, so I'd really appreciate your feedback. What brought me this idea: At first, I was building an AI agent for solo creators that knows everything about you and can do business chore on your behalf. When I tried to plug it into normal chat tools like Telegram, Discord, Slack... , they all felt wrong for agents: 1. They don't care about an agent's context. To follow a thread, the agent has to pull the whole history every time. 2. Giving each agent its own account is painful. If you have (or will…

I spend a lot of time in Claude Code and Codex with my friend. We kept losing the context behind changes because every agent session lived on one person's laptop, and by the time code made it into a PR, all the reasoning was gone. We tried commits, PRs, and docs, but they only really capture the end result, so we built a tool to keep all of our agent sessions in one searchable place. Now we (and our agents) can check out anyone's session and ask things like "what was Alex working on yesterday?" It's also quite helpful in recovering the context behind a change days or weeks later. Ocean works…

Hola HN! Long time lurker, sometimes commentor, first time poster here. I’ve been working alongside my two co-founders and a few colleagues on a project I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share with you all! Like many of us, I’ve lived a tortured existence with AI coding (is it vibes?) over the past few months - I think November was a big moment with this. But, one thing I’ve noticed after building orchestration layer after orchestration layer is that the thing I always came back to was “what the hell is Claude Code actually doing?” Perhaps it’s because of the time Claude Code got…

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it…
