Persistent Ubuntu cloud VMs built for AI agent factories
Each sandbox is a complete Ubuntu machine with systemd, Docker, databases, and cron, so anything that runs on Linux runs here.
Clone a configured sandbox from a disk snapshot in seconds to launch large fleets of identical parallel agents.
Connect over SSH and SCP or open a 60fps virtual desktop and browser to inspect web apps, IDEs, and 3D scenes.
Drive everything programmatically through the boat CLI (with --json output), an HTTP API, or Python and TypeScript SDKs.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.

The AI developer cloud for GPU pods, serverless inference and clustering
No-code builder for custom AI agents and workflows
Free / Open-sourceBrowser agents and stealth cloud browsers for real web tasks
Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads

Free / Open-sourceOutstanding open-source visual canvas for RAG pipelines and LLM agents, but less suited for general API integrations.

SpecialistMultiplayer AI where people and agents work side by side
Turn one prompt into live business apps, AI agents and automated workflows
Powerful visual builder specifically tailored for complex AI agent workflows, but less mature for traditional enterprise automation.

SpecialistDeveloper-first integration platform with granular code control, but lacks n8n's visual node-based workflow builder.

Cloud browsers and web APIs for AI agents

Enterprise-grade security and robust workflow automation, but less focused on open-source self-hosting and consumer use cases.
