Remote access and chat channels

PP Agent does not need a cloud account. It can still be reached from your phone on the same network, or through a messaging bot you pair with the app.

Remote access on your local network

Settings › Remote access starts a small web app served by the daemon on your computer.

1. Turn remote access on.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone on the same Wi-Fi.
3. Chat, attach photos and files, and answer approvals from a layout built for small screens.

The same section has Work on another computer, which opens another computer’s PP Agent in a window of its own. This is useful when your main machine runs the daemon and a laptop is the screen.

Not encrypted

Remote access is off by default and is not encrypted. Use it on networks you trust. Settings that let the agent run programs without asking stay on the computer and cannot be changed from the remote session.

Remote access is not a way to reach your computer from the internet. It is a local-network feature.

Telegram

1. Open Settings › Channels › Telegram.
2. Paste the bot token from @BotFather and turn the channel on.
3. Press Pair and send /pair CODE to the bot.

Only the paired account is answered. Approvals are asked in the chat, so a tool that needs confirmation waits for your reply. /research works from the chat as well.

Zalo

Settings › Channels also supports Zalo with a bot token and the same pairing flow. The paired account is the only one the agent answers.

Keeping it running

Channels and remote access need the daemon running. Settings › Background keeps it running after you close or quit the app and starts it when you sign in. Scheduled tasks keep running too.

What stays on the computer

• The workspace files and conversations.
• Settings that allow the agent to run programs without asking.
• Model keys, search keys, and bot tokens, encrypted in the vault.
• The browser profiles and imported cookies.

The phone or messaging app sees the conversation content and any files you send through it. See Security and privacy for the full picture.
