OpenComputer - Firebase for Agents
by•
Introducing OpenComputer
Deploy your agent as a function. Get a computer for it.
- a real Linux machine per session
- ffmpeg, chromium, git, install anything
- durable: hibernate + resume
- your keys never enter the runtime
The cloud of the last decade was built for apps. The next one is for trillions of always on agents. OpenComputer is their home.

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 etc
2. 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!

Interesting! so is this competing with Claude managed agents or?

@conduit_design hey - yes! claude managed agents is close, but with opencomputer you get to define agents as typescript functions AND it is model agnostic too.
Congratulations on the launch! Just curious, why TypeScript? Almost all AI is built with Python...

ummm, no?
