You just described what I do with my ultrawide monitor and laptop screen.

I can be fully immersed in a game or anything and keep Claude in a corner of a tmux window next to a browser on the other monitor and jump in whenever I see it get to the next step or whatever.

It’s a similar idea, but imagine you could fire off a task, and go for a run, or do the dishes. Then be notified when it completes, and have the option to review the changes, or see a summary of tests that are failing, without having to be at your workstation.

I kinda do this today, with Alpaca[0]'s sandboxed terminal runner and GSConnect[1] syncing the response notifications to my phone over LAN.

And, out of curiosity, what are the outputs of this agentic work?

Perennially checking if local models stack up to Claude 3.

You can do this today with OpenAI Codex, which is built into ChatGPT (and distinct from their CLI tool, also called codex). It will allow you to prompt, review, provide feedback, etc via the app. When you're ready, there is a GitHub PR button that links into a filled out pull request. It has notifications and everything.

There are a handful of products that all have a similar proposition (with better agents than OpenAI frankly), but Codex I've found is unique in being available via a consumer app.
