Versions:
arc runner is a Windows software application published by agent-rt, currently available at version 0.8.0, with two versions listed in the catalog to date. The software functions as a Windows runner for arc, enabling the host machine to be driven by an AI agent over an encrypted link. In practical terms, its purpose is to allow a Windows computer to be remotely operated and controlled through automated, agent-driven commands, with the connection secured by encryption to protect the communication channel between the controlling agent and the target machine. As a remote automation and agent-control tool, arc runner falls into the category of remote access and AI-assisted system automation software. Its primary use case involves deploying the runner on a Windows machine so that an AI agent can execute actions on that machine as if operating it directly, making it relevant for workflows where autonomous or semi-autonomous control of a Windows environment is required. Typical scenarios include remote task execution, automated machine operation, and AI-driven system management, all conducted through the encrypted link described in the software's specification. The current release, version 0.8.0, indicates that the software is still in an early stage of development, as denoted by its pre-1.0 version numbering. The existence of two cataloged versions suggests ongoing iteration by the publisher, agent-rt, with the newer release superseding the earlier one. Users evaluating arc runner should note that the version history is limited, and the 0.8.0 release represents the most recent state of the project. In summary, arc runner provides a focused solution: it installs on Windows and serves as the endpoint through which an AI agent can drive the machine remotely, with encryption safeguarding the link. Its role within the broader arc ecosystem is that of the local component responsible for receiving and carrying out agent-issued operations on the host system.
