Where does a coding agent run when I use it through smart glasses?
The coding agent runs on a connected computer or server. The glasses provide a small interface to that work: progress, a question that needs your attention, or a result worth opening on your computer. Your repository, terminal and development tools stay on the host.
The glasses are a window into the work
This division is useful because the agent can keep working while you step away from the desk. A wearable update might say, “Website: build failed; dependency missing.” That tells you whether to return without trying to reproduce a terminal inside a lens. The host remains responsible for executing commands and keeping the complete record.
E1O's coding-agent guide describes this host-and-display approach. We see the useful job as helping you follow work between moments at your computer, with a clear handoff when a task needs a proper review.
