OpenComputer
Firebase for AI agents — every agent gets a real computer
Visit website →About
OpenComputer solves the biggest problem in running AI agents: every session runs on a real Linux machine with a full filesystem, network, and packages. Your agent can clone a repo, run ffmpeg, drive a browser, and install whatever it needs.
Write your agent as a single TypeScript function and deploy it. Sessions are durable: they stream, can be steered mid-run, hibernate when idle, and resume where they left off. Model keys never enter the runtime — they're injected after the request leaves the sandbox.
Starts free with $10 in credit. Machine time billed per second from $0.00315/min.

Why we picked it
OpenComputer earns its spot for solving the unglamorous part of agent infrastructure — a real Linux machine per session, durable and steerable mid-run, instead of a sandbox that dies the moment a task needs ffmpeg or a browser. A developer pick, not an end-user one.
