NewEU data residency by default

Real computers for
AI agents, in the EU.

Full x86 Ubuntu machines that boot in seconds, keep their disk when stopped, and resume exactly where they left off. GDPR-compliant, EU-resident, encrypted at rest.

Use cases

Built for agents, deep work and desktops

One primitive — a real machine — covers workloads that usually need three different products.

Coding agents

Give your agent a whole machine: run code, use the terminal, install packages, reach the internet.

Data analysis

Point an isolated machine at your data, explore it safely, and generate charts without it leaving the EU.

Vibe coding

Use a machine as the runtime for AI-generated apps. Any language, any framework, no setup.

Web and app previews

Publish any port of a running machine to a signed public URL and share a live preview in seconds.

CI and test runs

Run heavy suites and builds in disposable machines with per-run isolation and a clean disk each time.

Computer use

Stream a full Linux desktop straight into the browser — for your agent, or for you.

Get started

In your terminal, with one command

Install the CLI, sign in through the same OAuth session the console uses, and open a machine. No keys copied by hand, no dashboard round trip.

Platform

Fast because of how it stops, not how it starts

Instant resume

Machines pause to disk and come back in under a second, with processes and memory exactly where they stopped.

No cold pools

Made for agents

Terminal, desktop streaming, package installs, port publishing, snapshot and restore — all through one API.

Computers for agents

Secure and isolated

Every machine is a Firecracker microVM: hardware-virtualised, built to run untrusted code safely.

Full isolation

Works with any agent and any model

Bring OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral or your own weights. Kiste is model-agnostic, and the popular coding agents come preinstalled in every image.

Run anything that runs on Linux

Twenty-two toolchains ship inside the base image, so a new machine downloads nothing before it can build.

Persistence

Run for seconds — or for days

Persistent disks survive every stop. Snapshot a running machine and restore it later, fork it to try something risky, or keep a long session alive around the clock.

Automatic snapshots

Two restore points kept per machine, on your interval.

Named restore points

Pin a state before an upgrade and come back to it.

Fork a machine

Copy a running box under a new name in one call.

Stop keeps the disk

Stopped machines cost nothing and lose nothing.
