Description
Polpo is an open-source mobile controller for AI coding agents. It runs a lightweight server on your machine and gives you a phone-friendly dashboard to manage sessions, send prompts, approve tool calls, and review plans.We just released v1.1.0 with support for 5 agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Pi), skills management from the phone (browse/install/remove skills from skills.sh), and the ability to start new sessions without touching the terminal.The idea started because we wanted to kick off coding tasks from the couch and check on them from the phone. It grew from there.Built with Node.js, no framework on the frontend, WebSocket for real-time updates. Works on LAN or remotely via tunnel (cloudflared, localtunnel, ngrok, SSH).Built by PugliaTechs, a non-profit association from Puglia, Italy.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
