1
Install a Runmote package
Choose CLI stable, CLI beta/RC preview, Desktop beta, or Headless beta for the machine role. Install is passive: setup, pairing, and local runtime start only when you initiate them.
How it works
A safe route from web AI intent to local Codex.
ChatGPT decides when execution is appropriate and writes a concise task. Runmote delivers it to the active local Codex session, tracks the lifecycle, and returns the agent-native report.
2
Pair your device
Runmote account pairing links the local client to runmote.com. Codex/OpenAI or ChatGPT authentication remains handled by those tools outside Runmote.
3
Report safe local state
The CLI can report bounded presence and workspace-shape metadata such as workspace kind and Git-root count, not secrets or raw file contents.
4
Run one agent task
Runmote checks ownership, lifecycle state, active reservations, quota, and idempotency before transporting the opaque prompt once. Codex chooses the implementation details.
5
Return and review
Runmote returns bounded state and the opaque terminal report. ChatGPT assesses that report and gives the user a concise completion, owner action, or next step.
Generic lifecycle
Start, status, continuation, cancellation, duplicate suppression, and bounded opaque reports use one canonical agent-task interface.
What stays local
Codex workspaces, Codex/OpenAI login, and local commands stay on the user's machine behind the device credential boundary.
What is deferred
Artifact viewing, preview links, browser terminals, sudo-capable terminals, public sharing, and future stable Desktop/Headless packages.
