agentwire-dev 1.46.0

Multi-session voice web interface for AI coding agents

Self-hosted, voice-native control for Claude Code — your machine, your keys, no cloud account.

Orchestrate many agents by voice — neural TTS on your CPU, voice cloning via a self-hosted GPU shim.

Why AgentWire

Remote access to a coding agent is now table stakes — first-party and hosted tools all let you reach an agent from your phone. AgentWire competes on what those structurally can't match:

• Self-hosted, keys-local. Runs entirely on your hardware. No cloud account, no third party in the loop, no telemetry — your code and your API keys never leave the machine.
• Voice-native, not voice-bolted-on. Push-to-talk in, neural TTS out on plain CPU (Kokoro, no GPU). Want your agents to talk back in a cloned voice? Run a self-hosted GPU shim (Chatterbox / Qwen / Zonos) — same machine, still your keys.
• Built to orchestrate many agents, not watch one. Council (multi-soul deliberation), an overnight scheduler, briefing mode, and worktree-parallel workers — tmux- and Claude-Code-native from the ground up.

Use the official app to watch one session; use AgentWire to orchestrate many, by voice, on your own hardware.

What It Does

Push-to-talk voice control for Claude Code or any AI coding assistant running in tmux.

Phone → AgentWire Portal → tmux session → Claude Code
 🎤        (WebSocket)         📺           🤖

From your phone, tablet, or laptop on your network:

• Hold to speak, release to send
• Watch agents work in real-time
• Hear responses via TTS
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously

Quick Start

# Install
pip install agentwire-dev

# Setup (interactive)
agentwire init

# Run
agentwire portal start
# Open http://127.0.0.1:8765 in Chrome — voice works immediately

Requirements: Python 3.10+, tmux, ffmpeg, Claude Code

Honest setup time: under a minute to a working voice portal with a genuinely good voice — Kokoro-82M runs on CPU out of the box (one-time ~200 MB model download in the background; the browser voice covers the wait). ~15 minutes for the full experience: cloned voices via a self-hosted TTS shim, Whisper-grade transcription, phone-from-anywhere (certs + token).

Phone / LAN Access

The portal binds to loopback (127.0.0.1) by default. To access the portal from your phone, tablet, or other devices on your local network:

1. Generate SSL certificates (required for microphone access over non-loopback connections):

   agentwire generate-certs
   

2. Enable LAN access: set server.host: 0.0.0.0 in ~/.agentwire/config.yaml.
3. Get your auth token: non-loopback connections require a bearer token. Print it with:

   agentwire portal token
   

4. Connect: Open https://<your-machine-ip>:8765 on your phone and enter the token when prompted.

Origin checks reject cross-site browser requests on every bind. Keep the portal on a trusted LAN — never port-forward it or run it on a public-facing VPS. For internet access, use Cloudflare Tunnel + Zero Trust. See SECURITY.md for details.

Platform-specific instructions

macOS:

brew install tmux ffmpeg
pip install agentwire-dev

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install tmux ffmpeg python3-pip python3-venv
python3 -m venv ~/.agentwire-venv && source ~/.agentwire-venv/bin/activate
pip install agentwire-dev

WSL2: Same as Ubuntu. Audio is limited; use as remote worker with portal on Windows host.

tmux config matters. Default tmux has no mouse scroll, a tiny scrollback, and broken copy UX — see Recommended tmux config, or let agentwire init install it for you.

Features

Feature	Description
Voice Control	Push-to-talk from any device on your network
Neural Voice + Cloning	Kokoro neural TTS on CPU out of the box; voice cloning via a self-hosted GPU shim
Council	Fan a prompt to multiple "soul" sessions (brain, conscience, critic…), synthesize with attribution
Scheduler	Overnight / recurring autonomous tasks with gates, priorities, and usage-limit recovery
Briefing Mode	A terse human-facing anchor fans out verbose worktree correspondents, then briefs you on cue
Multi-Session	Run multiple agents on different projects simultaneously
Git Worktrees	Same project, multiple branches, parallel agents
Remote Machines	SSH into GPU servers and talk to agents there
Worker Orchestration	Spawn worker panes, coordinate tasks, voice commands
Safety Hooks	300+ dangerous commands blocked (rm -rf, force push, etc.)
Outbound Channels	Email (Resend) + SMS (Quo / OpenPhone) for cross-device notifications
Session Roles	Leader/worker patterns for multi-agent workflows

How It Works

1. Create a session:

agentwire new -s myproject -p ~/projects/myproject

2. Open the portal: Visit http://127.0.0.1:8765 in Chrome (or your phone/tablet with LAN access configured)

3. Talk: Hold the mic button, speak your request, release. In instant mode the transcript appears for a quick glance — Enter sends it to Claude Code.

4. Listen: Agent responses are spoken back — Kokoro neural voice out of the box, or any TTS model behind a custom shim.

---

Multi-Agent Orchestration

AgentWire supports orchestrator/worker patterns for complex tasks:

# .agentwire.yml in your project (keep it gitignored — it's personal config,
# and tracked copies break worktree dispatch; agentwire adds it to .gitignore for you)
type: claude-bypass
roles:
  - agentwire
  - voice

Sessions can spawn workers:

agentwire spawn --roles worker  # Creates a worker pane
agentwire send --pane 1 "Implement the auth module"

Workers execute tasks autonomously while the orchestrator coordinates.

---

Safety

AgentWire blocks dangerous operations before they execute:

• rm -rf /, git push --force, git reset --hard
• Cloud CLI destructive ops (AWS, GCP, Firebase, Vercel)
• Database drops, Redis flushes, container nukes
• Sensitive file access (.env, SSH keys, credentials)

agentwire safety check "rm -rf /"
# → ✗ BLOCKED: rm with recursive or force flags

agentwire safety status
# → 312 patterns loaded, 47 blocks today

All decisions logged for audit trails.

Voice Configuration

Two tiers, both sides:

default (zero setup, what a fresh install gets): Chrome speech recognition in, Kokoro-82M out — a genuinely good neural voice (top of the TTS Arena at 82M params), 32 preset voices across 8 languages, pure CPU, identical on every OS. The model (~200 MB) downloads in the background on first portal start; browser speechSynthesis covers speech until it's ready (and remains the last-resort fallback). No GPU, no certs, no commands.

custom (bring your own model): any HTTP shim implementing the voice shim contract — ~30 lines wraps anything (Deepgram, whisper.cpp, an expressive emotion-tag model). Voice cloning, GPU engines, emotion control live here. The bundled servers are reference shims:

# ~/.agentwire/config.yaml
tts:
  backend: "custom"
  url: "http://localhost:8100"     # agentwire tts start (kokoro CPU / chatterbox GPU / qwen / zonos)
  options:
    backend: kokoro
stt:
  backend: "custom"
  url: "http://localhost:8101"     # agentwire stt start (moonshine ONNX, CPU)

Shims can declare capabilities (emotion tags, style instructions) via GET /capabilities — agentwire injects the shim's tool_prompt into the agent's say tooldef so agents actually use them.

Prefer text-only?

Instant mode already needs nothing — just don't press the mic. Agent speech plays through the browser; mute the tab (or close it — with no browser connected, speech plays on local speakers, which you can silence at the system level).
