How BeamShell Works

Simple setup, powerful remote command execution

Deploy Anywhere

Install BeamShell CLI on any server, container, cloud instance, or local machine. It connects to the relay server and generates an authentication URL.

Authenticate

Visit the provided authentication URL in your browser to authorize the connection. This creates a secure channel between your terminal and chat clients.

Connect & Execute

AI agents and chat applications can now send commands through the WebSocket relay. Commands execute on the target environment and results are sent back in real-time.

Architecture Overview

Chat Client

AI agent or Chat App

WebSocket Relay

AWS Lambda + API Gateway

BeamShell CLI

Any Server/Container/Machine

Commands flow from chat clients through the secure WebSocket relay to any BeamShell CLI instance, which executes them and returns the results in real-time.

Deployment Scenarios

BeamShell works wherever you need command execution - from local development to production servers

Local Development

Run BeamShell on your laptop or desktop for AI-assisted development workflows.

laptop:~/project$ beamshell

# AI helps with git, npm, testing

Production Servers

Deploy on cloud instances for remote server management and monitoring.

prod-server:~$ beamshell

# AI monitors logs, restarts services

Docker Containers

Run inside containers for isolated, scalable command execution environments.

container:~$ beamshell

# AI manages containerized apps

CI/CD Pipelines

Integrate with build systems for AI-assisted deployment and testing workflows.

runner:~/build$ beamshell

# AI handles build steps, tests

Cloud Functions

Deploy in serverless environments for on-demand command execution capabilities.

lambda:~/tmp$ beamshell

# AI processes data, runs scripts

Shared Team Environments

Multiple team members can connect to shared development or staging environments.

staging:~/app$ beamshell

# Team AI for shared debugging

One CLI, Infinite Possibilities

Whether you're developing locally, managing production servers, or running in containers, BeamShell provides the same secure, reliable command execution interface everywhere.
