What you get: - Full Ubuntu desktop environment in the cloud - Pre-installed AI agent that sees the screen and controls the computer - 24/7 availability - your AI keeps working while you sleep - Uses your own API keys for AI models - Starting at $69/month
The AI can use VS Code, browse the web, run terminal commands, manage files - anything you'd do on a real desktop. I wake up to completed code reviews, finished research reports, and updated documentation.
Built this because setting up an AI agent with a proper working environment was always the painful part. Now it's just one click.

Would love feedback from the HN community!

I have two questions:
1) Who do you see as primary competitors in this niche?
2) What is your model for managing liability in a situation where a naive, less technical (or plain lazy) customer lets one of these run a business without sufficiently verifying output? Your definition of due diligence may differ from theirs.

1) Competitors: There are players approaching this from different angles - some focus on code completion (Copilot), some on chat (ChatGPT), some on specific automation tools. What I wanted was an end-to-end solution: a cloud-based AI employee with its own persistent environment. That's the gap I'm filling.
2) Liability: Valid concern. The AI can make mistakes, and that's a real risk. We're implementing safeguards - you can watch tasks in real-time, pause/stop at any point, and we encourage users to review outputs before deploying to production. It's definitely not "set and forget" for critical work. Still iterating on making this safer.
