complete remote control for a real Amiga, by AI or manually
tuned for slow Amigas and slow networksAmigent connects your PC or Mac to your real Amiga over the home network. Then you can:
let an AI agent do the work, for example Claude Code or Codex: install software, update programs, change settings, copy files, click through programs. Just tell it what you want.
use the Amiga yourself from your computer, as a remote desktop like TeamViewer or VNC: a window with the live screen, your own mouse and keyboard, file transfer and a shared clipboard.
and both of these quickly, even on a slow machine. Amigent is tuned for slow Amigas and slow networks: a 7 MHz 68000 sends its whole screen in under a second, and over a plipbox a click shows its result in a fraction of a second. How it stays fast.
Both at the same time: you see every click the agent makes and can take over at any moment.
1. Copy amigentd to the Amiga (amigentd.000 on a
68000), or unpack the archive from the
releases.
2. Start it with amigentd SETUP in a Shell, or double-click its icon.
3. Paste this into your AI agent:
Install Amigent for me: run "pipx install amigent" (if pipx or Python 3.10
or newer is missing, install them first: Windows winget, macOS Homebrew,
Linux the package manager). Then run amigent-setup; it finds my Amiga on
the network by itself. Register the MCP server "amigent" with the command
amigent-server, and run amigent-viewer --install so the remote desktop
shows up as a program. Tell me if you need to be restarted.The agent sets up the Amiga over the network; from then on amigentd starts with it.
Windows: Amigent appears in the Start menu. For an encrypted connection
openssl is needed, which comes with Git for Windows.
macOS: Amigent appears in ~/Applications. On its first start, allow it
access to the local network, or it cannot reach the Amiga. Cmd is the right
Amiga key.
Linux: there is no program entry; start the remote desktop with
amigent-viewer.
Without an AI agent: see the manual installation.

An Amiga with AmigaOS 2.04 or newer, any CPU from the 68000 on, a network connection (a plipbox on the parallel port is enough) and a TCP/IP stack such as Roadshow.
A PC or Mac with Windows, macOS or Linux and Python 3.10 or newer.
"Check which programs on the Amiga are outdated."
"Install the game from my Downloads folder and add it to the Games menu."
"Copy the demo to the Amiga and start it."
"Open the remote desktop."Most of the work in Amigent went into making a slow Amiga on a slow network feel quick, for the AI agent and for you at the mouse:
The screen travels as the Amiga keeps it. Chipset screens go out as bitplanes, graphics-card screens as small palette tiles, and only the tiles that changed, often as the difference to what you already have.
Your input comes first. Mouse moves, clicks and keys are carried out even while a picture is still on its way, and the area around the pointer is sent before the rest.
The Amiga keeps its time. While nothing happens, Amigent asks rarely and costs the Amiga only a few percent of its CPU.
Files go in one go. Whole folders travel in a single stream, and files that are already there stay where they are.
Measured with a 640×256 Workbench screen:
Amiga | whole screen | unchanged screen | CPU while watching |
68000, 7 MHz | 0.6–1.0 s | 80–95 ms | under 10 % |
A1200, 68020 at 14 MHz | 0.1 s | 15 ms | 2–3 % |
On a 1920×1080 graphics-card screen over a plipbox (about 50 KB/s):
The orange bars are what moving the whole screen as raw 24-bit pixels costs on that wire, every time; the blue ones are Amigent, measured on a real A1200. All numbers, how they were taken and how to repeat them are in docs/PERFORMANCE.md.
New address after a restart? Amigent finds the Amiga again by itself. It takes only the one that proves to be yours.
Several Amigas? amigent-fleet shows them side by side with a preview.
After a big OS update, amigent-repair puts back what the update removed.
Safe at home. A key keeps other computers on the network out, and the connection can be encrypted. Don't open the Amiga to the internet.

Connect AI assistants to your approved computer for files, commands, browser and desktop tasks.
Remote MCP server exposing your Node Command fleet (files, shell, processes, browser) to AI hosts.
Remote Desktop Commander: use files, terminal and processes on your own computers from any AI app.
Give your AI hands on every computer you own. Remote control of your Windows, Mac and Linux machines from one ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor chat — even from your phone. Ask it to find out why the office server is crawling, update every PC in the house, sort out your mom's laptop from another city, or ship the site from your work machine while you're on a train. It runs commands, reads files and takes a screenshot when it needs to see the screen. You decide what each computer allows, and you can cut any of them off in a second.
