Show HN: Palmier – bridge your AI agents and your phone Hi HN — I built Palmier.

Palmier bridges your AI agents and your phone.

It does two things:

1. It lets you use your phone to directly control AI agents running on your computer, from anywhere.

2. It gives your AI agents access to your phone, wherever you are — including things like push notifications, SMS, calendar, contacts, sending email, creating calendar events, location, and more.

A few details:

* Supports 15+ agent CLIs

* Supports Linux, Windows, and macOS

* What runs on your computer and your phone is fully open source

* Works out of the box — no need to set up GCP or API keys just to let agents use phone capabilities

* Your phone can act as an agent remote: start tasks, check progress, review results, and respond to requests while away from your desk

* Your phone can also act as an agent tool: agents can reach into phone capabilities directly when needed

* Optional MCP server: if you want, Palmier exposes an MCP endpoint so your agent can access phone capabilities as native MCP tools. This is optional — you can also use Palmier directly from the phone app/PWA, with those capabilities already built in

* Still in alpha stage, with bugs. Opinions and bug reports very welcome

The basic idea is that AI agents become much more useful if they can both:

* interact with the device you actually carry around all day

* be controlled when you are away from your computer

Palmier is my attempt at that bridge.

It already works with agent CLIs like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, OpenClaw, and others. You can run tasks on demand, on a schedule, or in response to events.

Would especially love feedback on:

* whether this feels genuinely useful

* which phone capabilities are most valuable

* which agent CLIs I should support next

* what feels broken, awkward, or confusing

Happy to answer questions.

Show HN: Gemini Plugin for Claude Code

Show HN: Gemini Plugin for Claude Code I built a plugin that lets Claude Code delegate work to Gemini CLI.<p>I started this after finding myself reaching for Gemini more often on long context repo work. I have been especially liking Gemini’s codebaseinvestigator for long context.<p>This is inspired by openai&#x2F;codex-plugin-cc.<p>Code Review, adversarial review. Under the hood its Gemini CLI over ACP<p>Would love feedback from people using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ACP. I am especially curious whether this feels useful outside my own workflow.<p>Its a great combo with Opus 4.7 + Gemini 3.1 workflows

Show HN: gcx – The Official Grafana Cloud CLI

Show HN: gcx – The Official Grafana Cloud CLI Hi HN,<p>We’re excited to share gcx, a new CLI we’ve been building for Grafana Cloud.<p>With the rise of agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex we&#x27;re building faster than ever, but these agents are often blind to what’s actually happening in production.<p>gcx brings the full power of Grafana Cloud observability to your terminal. Query production. Investigate alerts. Let the Assistant root-cause issues. Ship fixes with observability built in. Without leaving your editor. gcx also comes packaged with a skills bundle that allow agents to see and act on your production telemetry. You can ask an agent to root-cause a latency spike, and it can actually fetch the telemetry, analyze the spans, and suggest a fix—all while having the full context of your codebase.<p>Do check it out and give us feedback!<p>Github link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;grafana&#x2F;gcx" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;grafana&#x2F;gcx</a>
