What it does

AFK Pilot lets you watch, approve, and steer Grok Build and Codex agents on your computer from a phone or any browser. Full GUI, no terminal. Pair once — no tunnel or VPN. Your machine stays in control; messages are relayed in memory and never stored. Host it yourself, use a free afkpilot.com tier (100 prompts/week), or go unlimited for $5/mo. The local apps are free: the extension for VS Code, Antigravity, and Cursor and the standalone desktop app. 65K+ installs across marketplaces.

AFK Pilot puts your coding agents in any browser — Grok, Codex and Claude Code, on your own machine or on a dedicated cloud dev machine with nothing to install. Pair once, then chat and steer from your phone.

AFK Pilot links your coding agents — Grok, Codex and Claude Code — to a browser on any device. Run them in VS Code , in Grok Build Desktop , or on a cloud machine we run for you . Pair once, then chat, review, and steer from your phone, tablet, or the next room. Just want the agents on one machine? Grok Build Desktop is free and needs no account. Subscribers get a dedicated Linux machine with all three agents preinstalled. Sign in to Grok , Codex or Claude Code from the browser and start working — nothing to install, no computer left running at home. You bring your own agent subscriptions. Your own VM — 8 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, ~100 GB of storage. Machines are kept ready, so opening one takes…from afkpilot.com
