From zero to live in 5 minutes.
Watch the full setup flow — install, connect Telegram, send your first command.
Three steps.
Then just type.
Everything set up from one terminal command.
One curl command installs RemoteAgent.CHAT and runs the setup wizard. Select Codex CLI as your runner — the wizard installs it if needed. Your API keys never leave your machine.
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.
Message your bot in natural language. “Refactor the auth module.” “Fix the 500 error in /api/users.” “Push to main.” Codex CLI handles the rest.
just type, your agent does the restEverything Codex CLI can do.
From your pocket.
Send prompts to Codex CLI from Telegram without opening a terminal. Works from your phone, tablet, or any device with Telegram installed.
Send a task, close Telegram, come back later. RemoteAgent.CHAT pings you when Codex is done — or if it hits an error. No babysitting required.
Register each repo as a separate agent. Switch with /repo and Codex picks up the right project directory. Your whole stack from one conversation.
Codex CLI runs persistently in the background. No need to restart a session every time — it's waiting for your next command, day or night.
Describe tasks by voice — transcribed automatically. Send a screenshot of a bug or a UI mock for Codex to implement.
Review every command sent to Codex, its output, and status in a web dashboard. Useful for teams and for auditing AI-generated changes.
Codex CLI must be installed on your machine. If it's not already installed:
The remoteagent init wizard will check for it and offer to install it if it's missing.
Codex CLI + Telegram — FAQ
Do I need a ChatGPT subscription to use Codex CLI?
Codex CLI supports both ChatGPT device auth (Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, Enterprise) and a CODEX_API_KEY. RemoteAgent.CHAT works with both — your credentials stay on your machine and are used directly by the Codex process.
Can I run Codex CLI on a remote Linux server?
Yes. Install Codex CLI and RemoteAgent.CHAT on your server, run remoteagent init, and pair it with Telegram. You then control Codex from your phone with no SSH session required while it's running.
Does Codex's sandbox mode still apply?
Yes. Codex CLI runs with workspace-write sandbox by default via RemoteAgent.CHAT — the same setting used for automated runs. All Codex sandbox and security controls are preserved.
Does my token or API key leave my machine?
Never. Your credentials are stored locally and used by the Codex process running on your machine. They are never sent to RemoteAgent.CHAT servers.
Can I mix Codex CLI with other runners across projects?
Yes. Each project can run a different AI tool. Use Codex CLI for OpenAI-based projects and Claude Code or Aider for others — all from the same Telegram bot.
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.
