Sessions now run in a dedicated host process, so closing a folder, switching projects, or even switching machines no longer stops or loses the session. Users can view and interact with the same live session simultaneously across the VS Code agents window, a browser at vscode.dev/agents, or a remote machine like a MacBook Air, with actions like queueing tasks syncing in real time across clients. The underlying protocol and spec are live and under active development. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the VS Code agent host feature and how does it change AI coding agent sessions? Agent host is a VS Code capability that runs AI agent sessions in a dedicated host process instead of tying them to the window or client that started them. Closing the folder, switching projects, or opening a different client no longer stops the session, and the same live session can be viewed simultaneously in VS Code, the agents window, or a browser at vscode.dev. _Developers juggling AI agents across projects can follow releases like this one on daily.dev._ ### Can I access the same VS Code AI agent session from a different machine or the browser? Yes, with agent host enabled and remote session access turned on, sessions running on one machine can be reached from a browser at vscode.dev or from a different computer, such as connecting from a Windows laptop to sessions running on a MacBook Air. The session is not a copy; all connected clients show the exact same live state, including queued actions and tool call approvals. _Anyone managing coding agents across multiple machines can track this kind of tooling shift on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [VS Code 1.129 Moves Agent Sessions Out of the Editor Window](https://daily.dev/posts/vs-code-1-129-moves-agent-sessions-out-of-the-editor-window-sba85pvyw) · DevOps.com · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#vscode](https://daily.dev/tags/vscode), [#remote-work](https://daily.dev/tags/remote-work), [#vibe-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/vibe-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/agent-host-your-sessions-anywhere-you-go-r8i5mb8qx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Agent Host: Your Sessions, Anywhere You Go","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/agent-host-your-sessions-anywhere-you-go-r8i5mb8qx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/agent-host-your-sessions-anywhere-you-go-r8i5mb8qx"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T16:40:10.465Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T20:59:12.862Z","description":"VS Code is introducing agent host capabilities that decouple AI agent sessions from the window or client that started them.
