A real working environment: terminal, browser, files and the software the task needs.
CLOUD COMPUTERS FOR AGENTS
Cloud computers.
Controlled by agents.
Benchyard gives AI a place to work: a secure, persistent cloud computer for AI employees, coding agents and autonomous workflows. Agents operate it directly. People collaborate, approve decisions and take over whenever needed.

THE NEXT COMPUTING USER IS AN AGENT
Intelligence needs somewhere to work.
From an AI employee handling daily operations to an agent building your next product, the work needs a place to live. Benchyard brings tools, files and applications together in a workspace agents can operate and people can share.
A continuous workspace
Keep project assets and tools between tasks. Return to the work instead of rebuilding the setup.
People in the loop
Work alongside your agents in the same environment. Review their progress, approve decisions and take over whenever your judgment is needed.
ONE PLATFORM. THE WHOLE WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
More than compute.
A place to get work done.
Bring your agent. Keep the environment. Stay in control.
Available foundation
Persistent computers
Keep files, repositories and installed workspace tools across sessions. Disk snapshots provide a path back.
Available foundation
Terminal, browser & desktop
Work with code, files and applications. Open a terminal, inspect a preview or enter the graphical desktop.
Available foundation
Your agent. Your choice.
Run supported coding agents with their own models and sign-in options. Share a familiar workspace around them.
Available foundation
Credentials under control
Keep supported service credentials outside the workspace while allowing authorized requests to use them.
Available foundation
Human in the loop
Connect approvals, plans, notifications and cross-device handoff to the work happening inside the computer.
Environment dependent
Suspend. Return. Continue.
Supported machine environments can preserve running state. Container environments retain files when stopped.
Planned platform capability
A computer from your agent
Create and operate computers through a unified developer API, SDKs and MCP, with scoped access.
Planned platform capability
Build your own agent cloud
Embed customer computers and handoff experiences in your product, with templates and lifecycle controls.
Current capabilities depend on installation, account and environment. The developer platform is a product direction, not a generally available API.
COMPOUND THE WORK, NOT THE SETUP
The next task starts
where the last one left off.
A project can outlive a chat, a device and a single agent session.
Make it ready
Connect a repository. Prepare the tools. Start the work.
Build on what exists
Reuse files, project notes and a working environment.
Keep moving forward
Return to accumulated assets, repeatable tasks and reviewable results.
Illustrative workflow. Project continuity relies on saved artifacts and task records; persistence does not guarantee an agent remembers every conversation.
BUILT FOR WORK THAT KEEPS GOING
One primitive.
An entire world of products.
Coding agents
Give each project a home for repositories, builds, tests and a preview people can inspect.
Build → test → reviewResearch agents
Keep source material, datasets and analysis scripts ready for the next question.
Collect → analyze → updateBusiness automation
Bring recurring tasks into a configured environment, with people involved at the decisions that matter.
Run → check → approveYour agent product
The platform vision: a computer for each customer, with your product experience on top.
Create → connect → embedCHOOSE THE LAYER YOU WANT TO BUILD
The computer. The agent.
The human connection.

MARKET LANDSCAPE · REVIEWED OCTOBER 28, 2026
A new category.
Real signals of demand.
Agent computers are attracting builders and capital. The public evidence is promising—and still early.
Orgo
YC FALL 2026Cloud computers for agents, founded in 2025. The company and its YC profile report adoption by more than 1,000 teams.
- Adoption
- 1,000+ teamsCompany-reported; paid customer count not disclosed.
- Investors
- YC and early-stage backersOrgo names Forum Ventures, Z Fellows, Pareto Holdings and Y Combinator.
- Total funding

Shardflux
PERSISTENT AGENT COMPUTEA developer platform for persistent agent workspaces. Its privacy policy identifies the Finnish company Helios One Oy as the operator for account and billing data.
- Adoption
- Not publicly verifiedNo verified customer count or revenue identified.
- Investors
- Not publicly verifiedNo reliable public investor disclosure identified.
- Total funding
- Not publicly verifiedAbsence of a disclosure does not mean no funding.
- Equity valuation
- Not publicly verifiedProduct capabilities do not establish commercial scale.
Capital is moving into the execution layer.
Adjacent companies provide disclosed funding benchmarks—not valuation comparisons or proof of profitability.
Daytona
Announced a $24 million Series A led by FirstMark Capital to give agents computing environments.
exe.dev
Announced its Series A and $35 million in cumulative funding. This is not the size of the Series A round alone.
The broader market is expanding.
$10.9B2026 estimate
$182.9B2033 forecast
Grand View Research estimates the global AI agents market at $10.9 billion in 2026 and forecasts $182.9 billion by 2033. This includes agent applications and software; it is not an estimate of the agent-computer market.
Size the opportunity from the computer up.
Illustrative annual spending scenarios: paid workspaces × average monthly spend × 12. These are assumptions, not observed market size, revenue forecasts or Benchyard guidance.
| Paid workspaces | Monthly spend per workspace | Annualized spending |
|---|---|---|
| 100,000 | $20 | $24M |
| 1,000,000 | $30 | $360M |
| 10,000,000 | $30 | $3.6B |
Spending includes infrastructure delivery costs. Addressable demand, utilization, purchasing behavior and provider market share still need validation.
Research snapshot, October 28, 2026. Funding amounts, company equity valuations and market spending are different measures. Adoption figures are self-reported and not independently audited. No reliable public ARR or profit figures were identified for Orgo or Shardflux.

Illustrative packaging for the forthcoming developer offering, not a purchasable quote. Compute, retained storage, snapshots and outbound traffic are separate usage items; launch rates and inclusions are to be confirmed. Agent subscriptions and model usage are billed separately. Current Benchyard prices are shown in the console.
View current Benchyard pricingA few things worth knowing.
Can I use Benchyard today?
Yes. The existing Benchyard workbench supports persistent workspaces and supported agents. The Agent Cloud developer offering shown here is in development; contact us to discuss early access.
Does every computer stay on all the time?
Choose a lifecycle that fits the workload. A stopped container keeps workspace files but ends processes. Supported machine environments can suspend with running state retained. Storage can remain billable while compute is stopped.
Will it work with my own agent?
The developer platform is intended to let you bring your own agent loop through API, SDK and MCP access. Today, supported agents run through the Benchyard workbench; a unified public computer interface is planned.
Are the plans available to buy?
The prices on this page are proposed launch packaging for feedback and design-partner conversations. They are separate from the current Benchyard console offers.
