agent-sandbox

Give an AI agent its own sandboxed cloud machine to work in — a full root Ubuntu VM (SSH, Docker, IPv4, all toolchains) where the agent can edit code, run commands, and host services without touching the user's host. Claude Code and Codex harnesses are preinstalled. Per-second billing, ~10x cheaper than E2B/Modal. Use as the execution environment for an autonomous agent.

background-worker

Run a long-lived or 24-7 background worker in a cloud VM that won't auto-stop — queue workers, schedulers, bots, crawlers, or persistent agent loops. Disable auto-stop or set a TTL up to 30 days; the VM keeps its disk and IPv4 and resumes after a stop. Per-second flat pricing, ~10x cheaper than ephemeral sandboxes for steady-state work.

cloud-sandbox

Spin up an isolated cloud sandbox — a full root Ubuntu VM (4 vCPU / 8 GB / 80 GB), not a thin isolate or container — to run code, builds, installs, or shell commands off the user's machine. Billed per second, ~10x cheaper than E2B/Modal; Docker and every major toolchain preinstalled. Use whenever work should not touch the host filesystem.

cloud-vm

Provision a persistent cloud Linux VM in seconds with SSH and a dedicated IPv4 — a real Ubuntu machine (4 vCPU / 8 GB / 80 GB) you can keep, resume, and snapshot. $20 buys ~555 hours, billed per second, ~10x cheaper than typical sandbox providers. Use when the user wants a remote dev box, a cloud VM, or any always-available Linux machine.

code-execution

Execute code in a real cloud machine (code-interpreter style) — a full root Ubuntu VM with Python, Node, Go, Rust and every major runtime preinstalled, not a constrained isolate. Per-second billing makes a run cost cents. Use to run scripts, data jobs, or generated code that needs real packages, subprocesses, or Docker.

Web & Frontend Listed

computer-use-browser-desktop

Drive a real browser and Linux desktop in the cloud (computer use) — a full GUI with Chrome, a 60fps stream for visibility, and the Lux agent for automating clicks/typing/logins. Use for visual UI checks, logging into web apps, testing Electron apps, or any GUI task that can't be done over plain shell. Records demo videos automatically.

docker-sandbox

Run Docker and containers in a cloud sandbox — a full root Ubuntu VM with Docker preinstalled and real kernel access, so `docker build`/`docker run`/compose all work (unlike isolate-based sandboxes that can't run Docker). 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 80 GB, per-second billing. Use to build images, run compose stacks, or test containers off-host.

ephemeral-ci-environment

Get a clean, reproducible ephemeral environment for CI and testing — a fresh root Ubuntu VM with every major toolchain and Docker preinstalled, your GitHub repo auto-cloned in, and the whole thing thrown away after. Per-second billing makes each run cost cents. Use to run tests, reproduce a bug, or validate a build in a pristine environment without polluting the host.

expose-localhost-tunnel

Tunnel/expose a localhost service to the internet from inside a cloud VM — get a stable public HTTPS URL (https://<box>-<port>.on.ascii.dev) with TLS and token-gating built in, no separate daemon or account like ngrok. The VM's dedicated IPv4 also allows raw TCP/UDP and bring-your-own domain. Use to share a preview, expose a webhook target, or open a port.

linux-server-ssh

Get a real Linux server in the cloud with full SSH/SCP access and a dedicated IPv4 in seconds — root Ubuntu (4 vCPU / 8 GB / 80 GB), Docker and every major toolchain preinstalled. Billed per second, ~10x cheaper than typical providers. Use when the user needs a remote Linux server to SSH into, run services on, or use as a dev machine.

parallel-agents

Build an "agent factory" — configure one cloud VM once, then disk-level fork it into a fleet of identical isolated machines so many agents run in parallel, each with its own filesystem, IPv4, and SSH. Flat per-second pricing makes a fleet ~10x cheaper than E2B/Modal (50 VMs ≈ $432/mo vs ~$4k). Use to fan work across many real machines instead of threads.

public-url-hosting

Host a service on a stable public HTTPS URL straight from a cloud VM — start your app, run one command, get https://<box>-<port>.on.ascii.dev with managed TLS and token-gating. Supports bring-your-own domain and raw TCP/UDP via a dedicated IPv4. Use to host a web app, API, demo, or webhook endpoint without DNS or certificate setup.

run-untrusted-code

Run AI-generated or untrusted code safely in a disposable cloud VM instead of on the host, then delete it. Full root Ubuntu with zero blast radius on the user's machine; per-second billing means a throwaway run costs cents. Use whenever you'd execute code you don't fully trust.
