What is a cloud workspace for coding agents?

A cloud workspace for coding agents is a remote computer set up for a developer to run terminal-based agents against real code. The workspace keeps files, tools, and terminal sessions away from the laptop. A browser or remote client reconnects to it, so agent work can continue when the local device disconnects.

What makes it a cloud workspace?

The defining unit is a place where a person works:

• A remote compute environment holds code and tools.
• A terminal or editor gives the developer direct control.
• State persists long enough to leave and return.
• The developer chooses what agent runs and what task it receives.

An agent may work autonomously inside that environment. The workspace still belongs to the developer's workflow.

How is an agent sandbox different?

Agent sandboxes such as E2B and Daytona are primarily infrastructure for builders embedding code execution inside an agent product. Their SDKs and APIs create, stop, snapshot, and scale sandboxes programmatically. They can run coding agents, but their core buyer is building a system, not opening a personal place to work.

How is a cloud IDE different?

A cloud IDE centers the human editing experience: a browser editor, repository setup, extensions, and team policy. Coding agents can run there, but the primary interface is usually an editor. A cloud workspace for agents centers long-running agent and terminal work while keeping direct human control.

Where does BlitzOS fit?

BlitzOS is a browser cloud workspace for individual developers running coding agents. It provides a real ttyd and tmux terminal, structured Claude and Codex chat, public previews, and five preinstalled agents: Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Pi, and Kimi Code.

It uses a fixed workspace: 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB disk, and a 50 GB durable volume. It works from phones and other devices. Beta access is $10 per month through Aug 31, 2026.
