Run AI agents on an always-on VM

Agents need a computer that stays on after you close the laptop: a disk for their memory and checkouts, a shell for their tools, and a way to reach you. An exe.dev VM is that computer. It is isolated from your own machine, private by default, and its LLM integration gives agents models without API keys on disk.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own model API key?

No. Every exe.dev VM can reach models through the LLM integration at https://llm.int.exe.xyz, billed to your exe.dev account. You can also bring your own key or subscription.

Is it safe to give an agent a whole VM?

Safer than giving it your laptop. The VM is its own machine with its own disk; it holds only what you put there, and you can delete it and start over in seconds.

Does the agent keep running when I disconnect?

Yes. VMs stay on. Services run under systemd, and interactive sessions can live in tmux so you can reattach from anywhere.

Don't see what you need?

Anything that runs on Linux runs on exe.dev. Describe it, and Shelley sets it up on a new VM.
