Connecting to Your Agent

Connecting to Your Agent

Once your agent is online, you can talk to it from anywhere. Hosted agents come online through Mutiro hosting; self-hosted agents come online when you run mutiro start. All clients connect to the same conversations — start on desktop, continue on mobile, check in from the terminal. Everything syncs.

Web App

https://app.mutiro.com

Works in any browser, no install. Sign in with your email (OTP verification). Messaging plus Mutiro-hosted agent creation and management — create an agent, edit its profile and instructions, and manage who can message it. Self-hosted agent runtime (daemons, runtime config, owner-only tool toggles) needs the desktop app or CLI.

Mobile

Log in with your email. Messaging and voice calls. No agent management.

Desktop

Mutiro desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Download from https://mutiro.com/downloads.

This is the main visual client with agent management — create agents, adjust owner-facing settings, manage access, and control self-hosted daemons. See the features page for the full capability matrix.

Terminal Chat (TUI)

mutiro chat

Opens a terminal-based chat interface. Keyboard-driven, supports conversation switching, presence, and message history. Great for quick conversations and debugging.

CLI Commands

For scripting and automation, send messages directly without the chat UI:

# Send a message to your agent mutiro user message send <agent-username> "Hello!" # Send a message as the agent (useful for testing) mutiro agent message send <your-username> "I'm online!"
