They're basically building in one layer what a lot of people are using multiple different apps for currently. Exactly as another commenter said, it's sort of a mix between herdr and proper remote access.

I use pi as my primary harness and then Claude code and Codex (but with the desktop app for some very specific things)

The last two have remote capability with their own app. With pi, you have extensions that can do remote access, but you still end up with three different places to look to get remote access properly from your phone.

People also use tmux and Zellij and any other number of combinations of different apps combined with some kind of remote access, but nothing that's unified and does everything all at once in one place. I feel like that's a good problem to solve if you can do it better.

It doesn't solve the fundamental problem however of inverting the flow from one human to many agents to many agents to one agent to one human.
