Hosted sandboxes and cloud computers for agents

In ALSTEAD, sandboxes and cloud computers are the two planned places for agent work to run. Sandbox and cloud computer time aren't available in this alpha. They sit with a control plane in a hosted workspace for builders running coding agents who want a bounded hosted workspace. An owner runs AI agents there in a bounded loop. The same description includes memory and connectors. Agents messaging on your behalf over iMessage is listed as coming soon. Customers bring their own AI keys, so model use is billed by the provider on that key. Model use is not counted as these hours.

The hours we can state are planned, and they are on Pro only: 10 sandbox hours and 5 cloud computer hours per month, added once they're verified. Pro is not on sale yet, and ALSTEAD is free while in alpha. Hours do not roll over. On this card, Free and Personal do not include that compute. Pro is the only plan planned to include compute. These are not live-checkout entitlements.

The loop, as far as the facts go

The loop is the owner running agents inside that workspace. The bounds we can name are the parts in the product sentence, plus the planned Pro hour cap above. The product sentence calls the loop bounded. It does not publish a step list.

This page does not add a machine size, a vCPU count, a memory size for the planned sandbox, or a session timeout. It does not say what a running session does when the hour cap is hit, other than the planned rule that unused hours do not roll over.

Memory and connectors are part of the workspace description. They are not given limits on this page.

The staged card, not a checkout

Staged prices, per owner, monthly: Free is $0. Personal is $19. Pro is $49. Labeled staged / not live checkout. Pro is the only plan planned to include that compute, and that compute isn't available in this alpha.

Stripe prices and discount codes are test mode only. This page is not live checkout. It does not link to a payment form. A launch date is unset.
