# Remote control agents and sandboxes

> Connect to Amika sandboxes and interact with their coding agents.

Use Amika from the surface that fits the task. There are many ways to interact with a sandbox and its agents:

* Use the [web UI](https://app.amika.dev/)
* Use the [CLI](/reference/cli) to send messages to agents or run commands in sandboxes
* Do the same with the [TypeScript SDK](/sdks/typescript/quickstart) or [HTTP API](/reference/api-reference)
* Message agents from Slack and Linear
* Connect to the sandbox with your favorite editor or ADE, such as the Codex app, Cursor, OpenCode Web, and other apps

## Work with agents

Send a prompt to an agent when you want Amika to provision a sandbox and run
the task for you. You can also review and continue the resulting session.
