Three steps.
Then just type.

Everything set up from one terminal command.

01
Install the agent

One curl command installs RemoteAgent.CHAT and runs the setup wizard. Select Aider as your runner — the wizard installs it if needed. Your API keys never leave your machine.

curl -fsSL https://remoteagent.chat/install | bash
02
Connect Telegram

Log in to remoteagent.chat — your pairing code is waiting in the dashboard. Paste it into the wizard. Telegram is linked in seconds. No BotFather, no webhook setup.

remoteagent init
03
Start building

Message your bot in natural language. “Refactor the auth module.” “Fix the 500 error in /api/users.” “Push to main.” Aider handles the rest.

just type, your agent does the rest

Everything Aider can do.
From your pocket.

Remote control via Telegram

Send prompts to Aider from your phone, tablet, or any device with Telegram. No terminal session required — your agent handles it all remotely.

Async task notifications

Start a long refactor before bed. Get a Telegram notification when Aider finishes — or if it encounters an error. No watching the terminal.

Multi-project switching

Register multiple codebases, switch with /repo. Ideal for freelancers and agency developers juggling several client projects.

Always-on daemon

Aider runs as a persistent background service. Send a task, disconnect from the server, come back when it's done.

Voice & image input

Describe changes in natural language via voice message. Drop a screenshot or mockup directly in chat for Aider to implement.

Works with any LLM

Aider supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Groq, and many more. RemoteAgent.CHAT doesn't change your model configuration — use whatever Aider supports.

Aider must be installed on your machine. If it's not already installed:

pip install aider-chat

The remoteagent init wizard will check for it and offer to install it if it's missing.

Aider + Telegram — FAQ

Does RemoteAgent.CHAT work with Aider + Ollama for local models?

Yes. RemoteAgent.CHAT wraps your existing Aider installation without touching your model configuration. If you run Aider with a local Ollama model, that setup is preserved. Your prompts route: Telegram → RemoteAgent relay → your server → Aider → Ollama.

Can I still use Aider's auto-commit feature?

Yes. RemoteAgent.CHAT invokes Aider with the flags it needs for non-interactive use. Aider's auto-commit behavior and git integration are unchanged.

Does it work on a remote Linux server?

Yes. Install Aider and RemoteAgent.CHAT on your server, run remoteagent init, select the aider runner, and pair with Telegram. You then control Aider from your phone, no SSH session required.

Does my API key leave my machine?

Never. Your API key is stored in ~/.remoteagent/ and used directly by Aider on your machine. It's never transmitted to RemoteAgent.CHAT servers.

Can I use Aider on some projects and Claude on others?

Yes. Each project you register can have its own runner. Switch between projects with /repo and the bot uses the right runner for that project automatically.

How long does setup take?

Under 5 minutes. Install the CLI with one curl command, run remoteagent init, paste the pairing code from the dashboard, and you're live on Telegram. No server config, no ports, no reverse proxy.
