Launch the task. Close the laptop. Find the diff tomorrow. Synchronous coding is last year.
AgentsRoom keeps your sessions alive even when you're not watching, and pings your phone when an agent needs you.
An AI agent that runs in the background, without babysitting. You hand it the job, it codes, tests, and stops. You're not at your screen. When it's done, or if it blocks, it pings you. You come back, you review, you merge.
The opposite of synchronous chat where you wait for every reply, prompt after prompt. With a background agent, the unit of work is no longer the conversation turn, it's the full task. You launch three before a meeting and come back to three open PRs.
“Synchronous coding caps you at your presence. Background coding caps you at your ideas.”
What actually changes
Without these four bricks, it's not background, it's forgotten multi-tab.
Close the window, close the laptop, drop the network. The agent keeps running. The session lives in a detachable window, not in a terminal tab that dies with your machine.
When you reopen the app tomorrow morning, the agent is exactly where you left it: terminals, dev servers, in-flight prompts, pending diffs. No restart from scratch.
The agent pings you on iPhone or Android when it's done, when it blocks, or when it needs a decision. No polling, no babysitting. You react, you don't wait.
Read diffs, send a prompt, approve a command from your phone. The session keeps going on the right device, no context break.
Four concrete scenarios where async gives you back time.
Write three specs before bed. Launch three agents. Wake up to three PRs. Night shift without sleep debt.
Hand a ticket to an agent before the call. Walk into the meeting. On the way out, the agent has a diff ready. The meeting didn't cost you an hour of build time.
The agent works while you're on the train. You get the notification on your phone. You approve from mobile, the code goes to review.
You're not at the code, you're living. The cleanup backlog still moves. Monday morning, ten small refactor PRs are waiting.
Not a degraded mode: built so the session outlives your presence.
Quit the app, reboot the machine: agents and terminals come back intact. Context lives outside the app runtime.
iOS and Android. Read outputs, send prompts, approve diffs from the phone. The fleet doesn't stop when your laptop does.
The agent only pings on real signals: task done, blocker, permission request. No spam, no empty alerts.
Each background agent has its Git branch. When you come back, you merge what fits and ignore the rest. No big blob contaminating main.
The spec that makes async agent work possible.
The control plane to run ten agents in parallel.
An IDE built around agents, not around the cursor.
The narrative angle: agents that work overnight.
