02 / A REAL COMPUTER

The best interface is the one your agent is already familiar with.

No custom skill files.
No new API docs.

Your agent already knows Linux and SSH. Give it a standard Linux environment and let it use that knowledge. Ubuntu and systemd, with support for Docker, nested virtualization and Firecracker.

workbench — ssh

~ ssh -J luisa.sh workbench

Welcome to Ubuntu · aarch64

workbench ~ uname -s

Linux

workbench ~ sudo docker run --rm hello-world

Hello from Docker!

No countdown clock.

Run your VM for 5 minutes or 5 months. We won’t stop or suspend it for inactivity.

Starts when you connect.

Shut down your VM whenever you like. It boots automatically the next time you connect over SSH.

Your keys. Your connection.

SSH runs end to end through our jump gateway. VM access belongs to you.

03 / SIMPLE PRICING

One predictable monthly price.

One fixed monthly subscription gives you a pool of compute and storage. Divide it between VMs as you need: one larger machine for a build, or several smaller ones for your agents.

2 reserved vCPU slots · 4 GiB RAM · 64 GB disk

  • Up to 8 vCPUs for one person
  • Split your pool across multiple VMs
  • Persistent local NVMe storage
  • SSH access with your own keys
