Archal — Stateful simulated environments
Spin up environments for GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Linear, Supabase, Datadog, HubSpot, Jira and more that persist mutations during a run and reset to a declared baseline on demand.
Call environments through familiar REST paths and payloads or through MCP tools, so existing agent code and tool definitions work with minimal changes.
A single API key creates and manages every sandbox and environment, with shared gateway routing while each environment keeps its own endpoint and readiness state.
Combine every environment a workflow needs into one sandbox, giving each its own readiness state and endpoint so end-to-end agent flows can be tested together.
Cloud browsers and web APIs for AI agents
Spin up scalable, sandboxed headless browsers on demand and drive them with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or the Stagehand framework.
Find relevant websites from a single query and convert any URL into clean HTML, JSON, or markdown built for LLM context.
Authenticate agents and get through login walls, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot systems so workflows do not stall mid-task.
Inspect sessions with live view, replay, structured logs, and debugging across prompts, model calls, and browser actions.
