exe.dev

exe.dev provides persistent Linux virtual machines designed for developers and AI agents. Instead of offering only short lived code execution containers, it gives agents a real computer with root access, system services, persistent storage, networking, and a public hostname. The platform also includes Shelley, a web based coding agent, while allowing users to run other coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and pi inside the same environments. Developers can create sandboxes over SSH or HTTPS, run long lived services, build prototypes, host applications, and give autonomous agents isolated machines where they can install software and keep state between runs. Its sandbox model can be used for parallel agent work, testing, browser automation, and development tasks. Integrations can also attach credentials through a proxy so secrets do not need to enter an agent context. The main differentiator is that exe.dev treats an agent sandbox as a real persistent computer rather than a disposable container. It supports KVM isolated virtual machines, root access, persistent disks, public HTTPS endpoints, cloning, scoped tokens, and secret handling through integrations. Pricing can be pool based or usage based, and model usage through its LLM integration can create additional costs. Buyers should understand compute, storage, transfer, and model billing before scaling many agents. For FutureStack, exe.dev belongs in Developer Tools because its primary buyer intent is providing compute and development environments for agents and developers. It is best for persistent agent sandboxes, cloud development boxes, parallel coding tasks, and workloads that need a real Linux machine.
