Missed marketing opportunity : Let AI Agents control any computer

• apexalpha 20d ago
  Unironically, yes. Easy to connect an AI to any device that supports (adapted) USB input. Don't even need the HDMI or video the AI will prefer serial console.

    I don’t mean this ironically at all. I have a few serial to IP bridges I use to let agents help me debug stuff.

  I do this for porting things to DOS. Was swapping a CF card back and forth between a 486 PC and my laptop that was running Claude and it was extremely tedious and required me to physically be at the system. Automated it entirely by giving Claude hands/eyes/ears so it can take complete control of the 486 using a raspberrypi 5, a usb4vc HAT for PS/2 and a VGA capture device. Adding an ethernet card and a tcp/ip boot profile for FTP, Claude then can update binaries, test them, and gather logs. Now I just steer Claude and it handles interfacing with the machine for me. https://github.com/ecliptik/vcctrl/tree/main/ https://github.com/ecliptik/vcctrl/tree/main/

  I had no idea KVMs existed until an agent filled me in last night (I had the idea of building one with an fpga so an agent could drive os installation). Lo and behold the next day KVMs are on the front page of Hacker News!
