Cloud Coding is a way to use claude code in a VM Sandbox.
The key feature of it is that you can script claude code to preform a sequence of prompts such as: - prompt 1: write a plan - prompt 2: implement the plan
This is extremely powerful and is what most "agents" apps are.
From using it everyday myself (mostly to build the site/coding agent), I've gotten better results than codex and at a much cheaper cost. I can more easily predict how much a run will cost because i control the workflow claude goes through.
The roadmap for this product isn't exactly clear:
I can compete head on with codex as a friendly UI general purpose coding agent or I could have it be made for workflows and integrations such as being triggering a template whenever a user commits to a repo with the template being a series of steps telling claude code to either create/run tests, lint, write docs, etc.
There's a huge range of possibilities so I'm looking for early users' feedback. This is why i've given each new user $5.00 of free credits to easily try it out!
Let me know what you guys think and I'm open to all feedback!
