Coding agents
Let it write the code. Keep control of the release.
Give an agent room to inspect a private repository, make changes and run tests. Put approval at the merge or deployment boundary.
Cloud computers for AI agents
Isolated Linux environments, with approval before the actions that matter. Built for teams connecting agents to real systems.
In development. UK hosting is planned, subject to provider validation.
01 / The runtime
A workspace for the run.
A boundary around its actions.
Ithaca is being built to bring agent compute and action approvals into one developer experience. Launch a machine, run your tools, and decide which actions need a person.

Isolated compute for the run
Allow, hold or deny the action
Repository, API or service
02 / Human control
Isolation gives the agent an environment. Approval checks govern its access to the systems outside it.
Planned controls apply at protected tool boundaries. In-VM root access must not provide a route around them.
The intended design keeps privileged tool credentials with a trusted executor. The agent proposes an action; policy and approval determine whether it runs.
Connect the run, requested action, reviewer and outcome. Define what is captured and retained before a workload goes live.
Explore the Remus permissions layer03 / Developer workflow
One proposed workflow, designed around an API, SDK and CLI.
Create an isolated Linux environment for the run.
Bring your coding agent, tools and dependencies.
Hold protected actions until the right person says yes.
Connect the action, approval and outcome in one record.
Create, run, stop and snapshot Linux environments. SDK and CLI contracts, SSH access and provider support are still being validated.
See the scope04 / Use cases
Start with one workload and a clear approval boundary.

Operational agents
Let an agent prepare a database update, refund or customer message. Require sign-off before the protected system executes it.
Platform teams
Define the environment, tool access and review requirements together. Give engineering and security a shared record to inspect.
Deployment direction
We’re planning a UK launch for teams that need to know where their agent compute and run records live.
Region, providers, log storage and retention will be confirmed before pilot deployment. UK residency is a launch objective, not an available guarantee.
Review the deployment scopePricing
A monthly minimum, with compute metered while your environment runs.
That’s the proposed billing model. Rates, VM sizes, storage charges and trial terms will be confirmed before access opens. No card or payment is collected today.

Ithaca is the proposed compute layer. Explore the projects being developed alongside it.
An integrated stack is the direction. A shared SDK, trace and billing experience are not available yet.
Good to know
Not yet. Ithaca is in development. Early-access enquiries help define the first workloads and pilot requirements; they do not provision compute or guarantee a launch date.
The initial scope is Linux CPU environments. GPUs, Windows, macOS and desktop streaming are outside the initial plan. VM sizes and the isolation runtime are still being selected.
The proposed design checks protected actions at trusted tool boundaries. It does not claim to intercept every shell command or make arbitrary root-access code safe. Credential and network boundaries must be validated for each integration.
No Ithaca certifications or measured performance claims are published. Isolation, logging coverage, recovery behaviour and data-location commitments must be tested and documented before pilots.
