Interesting! so is this competing with Claude managed agents or?
Congratulations on the launch! Just curious, why TypeScript? Almost all AI is built with Python...
Hi PH - today we're launching OpenComputer. Deploy your agent as a function, get a computer for it.What you can expect:1. Write an agent as a TypeScript function. Deploy it. We run the loop, the sessions, streaming etc2. Every session runs on a real Linux machine.3. Your tools and MCP servers run on that machine - clone a repo, run ffmpeg, drive a browser, install anything.4. Sessions are durable: can be steered mid-run, hibernate when idle, resume where they left off. 5. No model keys in your runtime. Bring your own or use our managed gateway.Give it a shot and let us know what you think, we're very keen on feedback!
