# About shedix

> Why shedix exists and who builds it: a real computer in the cloud for your coding agents, ready for how you work. Built by builders, for builders.

shedix is a real computer in the cloud for your coding agents. You start one with one tap, or your agent starts it
itself, and it's ready for how you work. Built by builders, for builders.

## A real computer, all yours

Each machine is a whole Linux machine with a full desktop and browser, root, Docker and its own public address.
Everything you set up stays: the whole disk is kept. Get in by SSH with your own keys, VS Code or a terminal in the
browser, the desktop, or your phone. Machines run in the United States.

## Made for agents as much as people

Your agent can start machines, drive them, copy them and move the conversation it's in onto one, with nothing for you
to click: `npx skills add shedix-dev/skills`, or point it at [shedix.dev/SKILL.md](/SKILL.md). On the machine, the
agent has a browser it shares with you, so you can watch and take over, and a full desktop.

## Built around your stack, not ours

Most ways to run an agent in the cloud ask you to change first: their container format, their SDK, their idea of a
project. shedix goes the other way. Claude Code, Codex and VS Code are installed when a machine starts, and the stack
you already use comes with you: any agent, your repo, your languages, your tools. If it runs on Linux, it runs here.

## Pay only while it works

Agents run for hours, and hours add up. So shedix charges by the second while a machine works, from $0.09/hr. When
it's unused, it sleeps by itself for cents a day with everything kept, and a sleeping machine wakes in under a minute.
A whole workday on a 2 vCPU machine is under a dollar. Prices sit a small step above what the machines cost us, and
our aim is to make them cheaper as we grow. Every price is on [the pricing page](/pricing).

## A note from the founder

I'm Arnav Gupta, an AI engineer. I build agents that run in production: I was the founding engineer and then CTO at
Oracia, whose agents handled 1.5 million messages for real-estate businesses in their first 90 days, and I helped
build the CustomGPT.ai agent that ranked first on the GAIA benchmark in June 2026.

Building agents like that, I kept hitting the same wall. A long agent run wants a machine that stays on, but my laptop
sleeps, the Wi-Fi drops, and the cloud options wanted me to rebuild my setup around them before they'd help. I wanted a
machine that was simply mine for as long as the work took, set up the way I already work, at a price that didn't make
me watch the clock.

That's shedix. Built by builders, for builders: the people trying things at two in the morning, running three
agents at once, shipping side projects next to day jobs. I read every piece of feedback that comes in, and the roadmap
follows what you tell me.
