remobi.app: Don't change your terminal workflow for mobile

Jul 12, 2026 · 9:21

Connor Adams presents remobi.app, a progressive web app that lets developers check on their terminal-based coding agents from a mobile phone without changing their existing workflow. Built for TMUX users, it mirrors a user's remote terminal session with gesture controls for zoom, scroll, and pane switching. Adams argues that unlike Claude Code's built-in handoff or dedicated mobile terminals, remobi is agent-agnostic and preserves custom TMUX setups with tools like lazygit and critique. The app uses Tailscale by default for secure remote access, though users can substitute Ngrok or Cloudflare tunnels. Open source and installable via npm, remobi aims to satisfy the compulsive need to monitor agents while away from the desk.

Building an AI assistant that makes phone calls [Convex Workshop]

Feb 9, 2025 · 50:53

Tom Redmond, head of DX at Convex, builds Floyd, an AI phone-calling assistant using Convex, GPT-4, Google Cloud speech-to-text, and Twilio. Floyd lets users make voice requests (e.g., calling a school to report a sick child) via a web app; transcription, context retrieval, and real-time conversation with a human on the other end happen through a reactive database architecture. Redmond explains how Convex's WebSocket-based infrastructure solves serverless latency issues, enabling live transcript streaming and status updates without polling. He demonstrates two calls (school absence and flower order), noting that latency (2–5 seconds) comes from OpenAI text-to-speech and growing prompts, with plans to use OpenAI Threads and faster TTS services. The prototype explicitly discloses it's an AI to avoid misrepresentation, and Redmond envisions AI agents efficiently handling service bookings.
