Agent Computer launches cloud computers in under 0.5s with SSH access

• Agent Computer launched cloud Ubuntu machines for AI agents that it says come up in “<0.5s,” with persistent disks, shared credentials, and SSH access built in launch thread.
• The product is positioned less like a disposable browser sandbox and more like a reusable remote workstation: the desktop demo shows virtual desktop access, while the SSH demo shows direct local-machine connectivity.
• Agent setup is aimed at existing coding-agent users, with a subscription demo showing Claude Code or Codex access carried over “with a single command,” and the auth-sharing post adding automatic token sharing to newly created machines.
• The control plane extends beyond login and shell access: the ACP demo shows agents prompting and managing sessions through the computer CLI, and the publish demo shows work exposed on the internet over HTTPS.

Agent Computer is pitching a fast-starting remote machine layer for agents rather than another ephemeral browser task runner. In the launch post, the company thread says its “cloud computers” start in under half a second and combine persistent disk, shared credentials, and SSH access, while the product site describes full Ubuntu machines that can be created from a CLI, dashboard, or API.

The practical difference is statefulness. The desktop demo shows a persistent virtual desktop workflow, and the SSH demo shows those machines being reached from a local terminal instead of only through a hosted web UI. That makes the product sound closer to a prewired remote dev box for agents, where installed software, files, and sessions survive long enough to matter.

The launch thread focuses on reducing setup friction for coding agents that already depend on local credentials and long-lived environments. In the subscription demo, Agent Computer says users can bring Claude Code or Codex subscriptions “with a single command,” and the auth-sharing post says auth tokens can be automatically shared to newly created computers.

Control is also exposed programmatically. The ACP demo says agents can “prompt, watch, and manage cloud sessions” via the computer CLI over ACP, which points to multi-agent or supervisor-style workflows rather than one-off remote desktops. Separately, the publish demo shows output being published on the internet, and the docs page adds that machines are reachable over VNC, SSH, and HTTPS with support for configuring, sharing, and running live agent sessions.
