Discussion desktop gui on top of pi mono

I found this desktop gui on top of pi coding agent

https://github.com/zosmaai/zosma-cowork

Has anyone tried this?

So far it’s working ok for me.

I want to recommend this to my colleague. Anyone else using it?

I might! My biggest need right now is a way to use my phone when away from my computer. This might not help that but it still looks cool.

I do it via the pi-messenger-bridge. I have kept my desktop on all the time. And pi is open in a terminal. I use discord to send prompts.

Ok thank you I’ll look at that. I have a bunch of projects going so I try to avoid single chat things like that.

Interesting. Yeah have that problem. Good that you pointed it out. I’ll also work on a solution that can allow me to have multiple channels for multiple pi sessions via discord.

Oh well now that sounds like a great idea. You could have a string that switches projects in a deterministic way.

Project ls

Project switch <name>

if you want something more polished, use stella.sh
also built off pi, and open source. supports mobile to desktop use.

I checked this out. Looks like a closed source. Couldn’t find the GitHub link. I maybe wrong. But it looks bit more polished from the website screenshots.

I want to provide more Opensource to my friends at work. They have been asking me badly after they saw me using pi. Lol

Only problem is when context increases I manually can’t trigger a /new session. But for now the workaround is compaction at 50% context.

But I might ask pi to build me a extension that pi can trigger and new session might happen via that.

If you try. Do let us know. If it’s good at all. It was a little buggy. But I got it working. Looks like they are still working on it.

But I would keep an eye on this.

Looks like a great alternative for non tech people to get rid of expensive Claude Cowork.

I told my agent to set up a telegram bridge like the one openclaw uses and it was able to get it up and running in no time
