OpenComputerFor startup founders

Ship long-running agents. Skip the runtime.

Define an agent like a serverless function. Choose your model. OpenComputer handles the rest.

How it works02 / 05

Three steps. One function.

You write the agent. They run the loop, the sessions, the streaming and the versions.

01

Define it

A TypeScript function with your model and tools.

useModel · useTool · useMcpServer
02

Deploy it

One command. A real computer for every session.

$ opencomputer deploy
03

Let it work

Long-running tasks, managed sessions and schedules.

cron: "0 9 * * 1-5"

The runtime03 / 05

Every session gets a real Linux machine.

Your tools and MCP servers run on it: clone a repo, run ffmpeg, drive a headless browser, install anything.

Keys it uses but never sees

Each secret is bound to one origin and injected after the request leaves the machine.

Pay only for what runs.

Model tokens at API rates, no markup. Machine time billed per second.

≈ $1 / month
for a session that runs ten minutes a day, on the default 2 GB / 1 vCPU machine at $0.00315/min.
