Helix Agent

Helix

A personal AI agent harness powered by Claude Code. Give your AI assistant a name, a personality, persistent memory, and always-on access through Discord, Telegram, or the built-in web UI.

Helix acts as a frontend for Claude Code — all AI calls route through Claude's CLI using your existing subscription. No API keys needed.

Ideal for anyone who wants a persistent, always-on Claude agent without living in a terminal. Run it once, walk away — your agent is available through your phone, browser, or messaging app whenever you need it.

Helix ships with four built-in themes — each available in dark and light mode.
