About

Agent Compute Engine is a managed Google Cloud compute service that provides execution environments for AI agents. Each agent receives a hardware-isolated microVM with its own guest kernel and root-level control. The service supports rapid startup, pausing, checkpointing, snapshots, and resume workflows. Persistent workspaces retain agent files and context across sessions, while copy-on-write memory sharing supports parallel environments from common images. Agents can run code, shell commands, and browser actions in isolated sandboxes, with governed access to enterprise data through Google Cloud networking and identity controls. Developers can configure environment images, identity, network access, and lifecycle while Google manages the underlying compute fleet. The platform is designed for interactive assistants, coding agents, browser-based tasks, and large-scale evaluation and reinforcement-learning workloads.

About

KERNEL is a cloud browser infrastructure platform for developers building AI agents and browser-based automation. It provides managed browser sessions that agents can use to navigate websites, interact with page content, and perform tasks through code rather than relying on a local browser setup. The service is designed for production workloads, with persistent browser profiles, live browser viewing, session recording and replay, and controls for managing browser access. Teams can connect agent workflows through KERNEL's APIs, SDKs, and hosted MCP server, and use the platform for web research, data gathering, and other tasks that require interacting with websites. Plans for individual developers, startups, and enterprise teams include different browser concurrency, usage credits, and access to capabilities such as managed authentication, stealth mode, and regional browsers.
