There are times when you're not sitting at your computer but

• Ideas rush in wanting to code right away, or brainstorm, plan
• Come up with a way to fix a tricky bug and fear forgetting when you get home
• Notifications are chaotic, production bug ⇒ the boss urgently needs a hot fix
• The AI code takes a long time and needs to go outside ⇒ how to know when it’s done, what the status is?
• And so on and so forth

CCPoke was created to solve this problem; essentially, it is a tool that sits in between and connects chat applications (Telegram, Discord, Slack, …) with agents (Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex CLI, …) running on your computer. You can chat with your coding AI agent anytime, anywhere and receive detailed reports whenever the AI finishes its tasks.

I. SOUNDS FAMILIAR, THERE ARE MANY ON THE MARKET

At this point, you might think of some trendy technologies such as: OpenClawd (ClawdBot), Claude Code Remote Control, … they are somewhat similar. However, CCPoke has some key differences as follows:

I.1. Directly use your familiar and extremely powerful Agent

There's no denying the convenience of OpenClawd, but to be fair, for programming tasks, it cannot compare with specialized agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, … And the familiar tools will have your own settings (tool, skill, workflow, kit, …) ready to go, so you can start coding right away.

I.2. Free

For Claude Code Remote Control, you have to purchase the max package ($200 - about 5 million/month) to access this remote coding feature, and if you're as broke as we are, the chances are very slim. The direct connection between the chat application and the agent does not incur additional tokens/costs. Instead of chatting with a terminal ⇒ now you chat on Telegram, Discord, Slack, …

I.3. CCPoke can

• Support notifications: AI agent finishes work → immediate push notifications. No polling, no delays → receive reports in Telegram, Discord, Slack, …
• Two-way interaction: Chat with the AI agent from Telegram. View active sessions, send prompts, answer questions — no need to touch the computer.
• Multi-session: Manage multiple AI agent sessions simultaneously — switch between sessions, monitor in parallel, separate contexts for each session → code multiple projects remotely at once
• Data security: Your data remains on your machine, no API calls outside, no sending it anywhere

II. SETUP IN JUST 2 STEPS, UNDER 5 MINUTES

It may not be that simple behind the scenes, but when using CCPoke, it's done in 2 steps:

1. Get the chat app token (for example, Telegram)
2. Run npx -y ccpoke and the tool will guide you through the rest

III. LONG-TERM ROADMAP

If this product attracts the community's interest, it will not only stop at:

• Establishing a two-way connection with the agent (send commands and receive notifications) ⇒ many more functions
• Not just supporting a few chat apps and a few agents, but it will be a long-term journey.
