4 use cases

  • Run a durable agent on your own machine

    Start a device server and web hub so an agent keeps running after you close the browser.

    View prompt
    In the Durable Pi repo at <repo path>, follow the Manual Install steps in the README up to starting the hub on http://localhost:4781. Report the URL that responds and the names of the device and session shown in the web UI. Verify that the device appears as local in the network tree.

  • Watch a proactive agent open an incident

    Run the demo where an agent starts on its own, investigates a failing checkout and waits for your deploy approval.

    View prompt
    In the Durable Pi repo at <repo path>, run `just proactive take` and capture the printed URL. Report the URL and whether the agent asked to deploy within about 30 seconds. Verify that the deploy task is waiting for approval and has not run.

  • Attach a terminal to a running agent and steer it

    Reconnect from the terminal to an agent on a device and send it follow-ups or interrupts.

    View prompt
    In the Durable Pi repo at <repo path>, run `just tui attach local` against a running device server. Report the session and agent names shown. Verify that after Ctrl+C the agent is still running by reattaching and seeing its latest transcript.

  • Gate a release check behind your own approval

    Run the release-check durable job so the agent gathers evidence and waits for you before it publishes.

    View prompt
    In the Durable Pi repo at <repo path>, open the web hub, run the release-check durable job from the Tasks tab, and report the phase it stops at. Verify that it waits for approval before any publish step runs.
