Agentum Web Chat

Web Chat is the browser way to carry your agents with you. It’s the same conversation you see in the desktop app’s Agentum Chat — same thread, same agents, same slash commands — rendered as a fast web app you can open on any phone or computer and even install to your home screen. And true to Agentum’s architecture, it’s served from your own Mac over your private tunnel: your messages never live on Agentum’s servers.

Prefer Telegram? Telegram Setup covers the alternative. Many people run both — they’re independent channels to the same agents.

Turning it on

  1. Enable Remote Access first (how).
  2. Open System → Settings → Web Chat and enable it. A short wizard confirms the channel is live on your tunnel.

Opening it from anywhere

Go to theagentum.com/mychat and sign in with the same Google account you use for your license. That’s the friendly front door — it looks up your install and forwards you to your personal chat URL (a private …yuriclaw.com/mychat address served by your Mac). Bookmark either one.

If the front door says your chat isn’t ready, it means your Mac hasn’t checked in yet with Web Chat enabled — give it a minute after enabling, and make sure the Mac is awake.

Pairing a device

The first time a browser opens your Web Chat, it has to be approved — the same trust-on-first-use model as WhatsApp Web:

  1. The browser shows a short pair code and asks to be approved.
  2. On your Mac, a pairing banner appears (approvals also live in System → Settings → Paired devices). Check the code matches, click Approve.
  3. The browser stores its own private credential and stays signed in from then on.

Every device pairs separately, and every device can be revoked from the Paired devices card — instantly, one at a time or all at once. Lost your phone? Revoke all is the panic switch; every browser session dies on the spot.

What you can do

  • Chat with your agents — plain language in, streaming replies out, with the same slash-command autocomplete as the desktop (type / to see it).
  • Tap choice buttons — agent questions with fixed options render as real buttons.
  • Filter by agent — the agent drawer at the top shows every agent posting into your chat, each with its own controls:
    • Pin an agent to keep it at the top of the drawer.
    • Mute an agent — its routine chatter stops appearing (you’ll still see a quiet receipt that a muted run happened).
    • Alerts — flag an agent’s messages as notification-worthy.
    • Tap an agent to filter the thread to just its messages; every message carries the agent’s name and icon so you always know who said what.
  • Install it as an app — on Android you’ll get an “Add to Home Screen” prompt; on iPhone use the share sheet → Add to Home Screen. Either way you get a standalone, full-screen app with its own icon.
  • Get push notifications — when agents post while the tab is closed, paired devices get real system notifications (allow notifications when the app asks). Your own replies don’t ping you.

The one rule: your Mac must be awake

Web Chat is served by your Mac, not a cloud copy. If the Mac sleeps or goes offline, the chat (and its push notifications) pause until it’s back — everything reconnects automatically. For an always-on experience, keep the Mac awake while plugged in.

Privacy and security at a glance

  • Chat content stays on your Mac; the browser talks to it directly over your private tunnel (HTTPS end to end). Agentum’s servers only handle the front-door redirect — they never see your messages.
  • Only the chat endpoints are exposed through the tunnel, and only to devices you’ve explicitly approved. Everything else 404s at the network edge — see Remote Access.
  • Device credentials are random 256-bit tokens, stored hashed on the Mac, revocable at any time.

Web Chat vs. Telegram

  Web Chat Telegram
Needs an account with Nobody new (your Google sign-in) Telegram
Where it runs Any browser; installable PWA The Telegram app
Conversation The Agentum Chat thread (same as desktop) Its own thread, mirrored to the desktop
Notifications Web push (Mac must be awake) Telegram’s own push
Approvals & Mini App Chat-first Inbox + Home + Commands in the Mini App

They’re complementary: Telegram is the richer remote control; Web Chat is the zero-extra-apps chat that works anywhere a browser does.
