Close the Lid: Coding with AI Agents from Your Phone

We've all done it: speed-walking through an airport, laptop cracked open, praying the build finishes before boarding. What if you didn't have to? AI coding agents can now do real work, but they still need a machine, and that machine shouldn't be the laptop you're hauling around with the lid up.

This is a talk from the trenches, by people who got tired of being chained to their laptops and built a remote setup that lets them drive coding agents entirely from their phones.

We'll walk through the building blocks: where to host the agent so it runs while you don't, how to reach it securely from anywhere, how to get pinged the moment it needs your input, and what it actually feels like to steer from a mobile interface.

Real setup, real usage, sharp edges included. You'll leave knowing how to build it yourself, so you can finally close the lid.
