Fix servers you can't reach.
Most AI agents give up when SSH is down. AgenticKVM can still see the screen and press the keys, through the same console you would use. Anything risky waits for your OK.

From prompt to console
Eyes and hands at the console.
When a machine stops answering, AgenticKVM goes in through the back door: PiKVM devices, BMC consoles, and VM host consoles. It speaks standards like Redfish and IPMI, and it works with gear you already own.
Ping fails, SSH fails. The normal ways in are gone
The agent opens the machine's console, watch-only
It reads the screen and works out what broke
You approve the fix from your phoneACT approval
It presses the keys and the machine comes back
You get a written record of everything it did
Where it shines
For the day something breaks.
- Homelab recovery
- VM host troubleshooting
- Server console operations
- Boot recovery
- Network lockout recovery
- Remote machine triage
- Out-of-band visibility
- Controlled infrastructure ops
Watching the console is one permission. Touching the keyboard, power, or boot settings is another, and those always wait for your approval in ACT. Compatibility depends on your hardware and setup.
The real approval surface
Node actions land on your phone.
This is the real ACT app reviewing a high-risk request on a demo workspace. You can see the tool, the machine, the session, and when the request expires. Console, power, and boot requests from AgenticKVM show up the same way.

When SSH is dead, AgenticKVM can still reach the console you already have.
