OpenComputer
OpenComputer is a platform for building and deploying long-running AI agents as code. You define an agent as a TypeScript function with its model, tools and MCP servers, deploy it with one command, and every session gets its own real cloud computer, with managed sessions, schedules and API keys kept outside the agent's runtime. Templates include a coding agent that edits a repo, runs checks and opens a draft pull request, and market-research and GTM agents; its own Slack coding agent runs on it. Pricing is pay-as-you-go for model calls and per-second machine time.

Other agent infra tools in our directory. See all agent infra tools →
Replicate
Run and deploy open models through an API, with Cog for packaging models.
Magpie
Free, open-source menu bar app and local gateway that lets any coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and 60+ more) use any model provider or subscription, with failover when a quota runs out.
Manifest
Open-source LLM gateway that routes each request from agents and apps to the right model across API keys, subscriptions and local models, with spend tracking.
Open Terminal
Self-hosted terminal service from the Open WebUI team that gives AI agents an API to run commands, manage files and execute code.
LayerFS
LayerFS is a filesystem built for running many coding agents in parallel. Each agent mounts a complete, writable workspace on top of shared committed history, does its work, commits what it changed and goes away, so compute only exists while a command runs. Every tool call becomes a commit on a branch, same-file clashes between agents are refused rather than silently merged, each line records the step that wrote it, and any commit can be forked at no cost for recursive exploration or RL training. Agents on different computers share one serverless store with chunk-level deduplication.
Electric
Sync engine and agent platform that keeps data in sync between Postgres, apps and agents in real time.
