Key Features

• Deploy agents as TypeScript functions with one command
• Keep model API keys outside the runtime for security
• Schedule agents to run automatically on a cron schedule

About

Deploy your agent as a function, get a computer for it. 1. Write an agent as a TypeScript function. Deploy it. We run the loop, the sessions, streaming etc 2. Every session runs on a real Linux machine. 3. Your tools and MCP servers run on that machine - clone a repo, run ffmpeg, drive a browser, install anything. 4. Sessions are durable: can be steered mid-run, hibernate when idle, resume where they left off. 5. No model keys in your runtime. Bring your own or use our managed gateway.

Use Cases

• Developers who want to deploy long-running autonomous agents without managing infrastructure
• Teams automating code changes by running agents that edit code, run checks, and open PRs
