# Remocode AI Coding Assistant: A Complete Overview

Remocode is an Electron-based terminal multiplexer purpose-built for AI coding agents. Rather than switching between your terminal, a chat window, and an IDE, Remocode brings everything together into a single, streamlined workspace. This overview covers the key AI capabilities that set Remocode apart.

Multi-Provider Architecture

One of Remocode's strongest differentiators is its support for multiple AI providers within a single interface. You can connect to Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Haiku 3.5), OpenAI (GPT-5.4, GPT-5, o3, GPT-4.1, and more), Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash, and others), Groq (Llama 3.3 70B, Mixtral 8x7B), and even Ollama for fully local inference with models like Llama 3.2, Mistral, Code Llama, Qwen 3.5, and DeepSeek V3.

Switching between providers is instant. There is no need to close sessions or reconfigure your workflow.

Two Model Slots: Chat and Monitor

Remocode introduces a dual-model architecture. The Chat Model handles direct conversations, code generation, and interactive assistance. The Monitor Model runs in the background, performing analysis at a lower cost. For example, you might use Claude Opus 4.6 as your Chat Model for complex reasoning tasks while running Haiku 3.5 as the Monitor Model for continuous background analysis.

Agent Auto-Detection

Remocode automatically detects when you are running AI coding agents inside your terminal sessions. It recognizes Claude Code by its response markers (the symbols it prints) and prompt markers, Gemini CLI by its prompt and response patterns, and OpenAI Codex by its distinctive prompt and response indicators. Once detected, Remocode can forward questions the agent asks, filter dangerous commands, and send alerts through Telegram.

AI Settings: Four Tabs of Control

The AI Settings panel is organized into four tabs:

  • Provider — Configure your API key, select your preferred model, and set up Telegram integration for remote notifications.
  • Commands — Customize the prompts used by the status and audit commands, and define your own custom commands.
  • Agents — Enable auto-detection for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex. Configure question detection, alert forwarding, and dangerous command filtering.
  • Standup — Schedule automated standup reports that summarize what your AI agents have accomplished.

Built-In AI Commands

Remocode ships with powerful built-in commands. The status command generates a progress report from your terminal activity using a configurable prompt. The audit command runs a security review that rates findings as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW and assigns an overall A-F grade. The delivery check command goes further by having the AI generate curl-based tests, executing them automatically, and reporting results as PASS, PARTIAL, or FAIL.

The AI Panel

Access everything through the AI Panel (shortcut: Cmd+Shift+A). It provides a chat interface for direct interaction, displays pending questions from detected agents, shows alerts, and gives quick access to all AI settings. The panel integrates seamlessly with your terminal sessions so you never lose context.

Getting Started

To begin using Remocode's AI features, open the AI Settings, configure your preferred provider with an API key, select your Chat and Monitor models, and start coding. The agent auto-detection works out of the box once you launch a supported coding agent in any terminal pane.

Remocode turns your terminal into an intelligent workspace where AI coding agents, background monitoring, security audits, and automated testing all work together in harmony.
