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

boxd provides persistent Linux virtual machines for developers, engineering teams and AI-agent workloads. Each machine has its own kernel, SSH access, a public HTTPS address and persistent disk, so software that needs a full computer—including Docker, systemd, long-running agents and development servers—can run in an isolated environment. Users can fork a running machine with its memory and disk state to explore parallel approaches without rebuilding the environment; idle machines can hibernate and retain disk state. Machines are managed over SSH, a command-line interface, API, and Python and TypeScript SDKs. Organizations can connect GitHub, Linear and Slack. boxd runs as a managed cloud in Frankfurt or can be self-hosted on KVM-capable Linux infrastructure, free for deployments up to 16 vCPUs. Use cases include cloud development environments, AI-agent sandboxes, background coding agents and preview environments.

Pricing

€0.03/hour
Cloud machines use metered, pay-as-you-go billing for vCPU, RAM in use and disk space; there is no monthly subscription or per-seat fee. New cloud accounts receive €30 in credits after adding a payment method. Self-hosted deployments are free up to 16 vCPUs; larger deployments require an annual license.
