Agents on your machines
AI agents that run on your own computers
The repo, the credentials and the tools your agents need are already on your team's machines. Moving all of that to someone else's computer is the part nobody wants to do.
Agents run where the work already lives
Every named agent has a home machine. It might be a laptop where the repo already lives, a Mac mini in the office, or a Linux server running Cyborg's headless daemon.
Sessions and terminals run on whichever machine you pick, as long as you are allowed on it.
- Laptop
- Server
- GPU
- Cloud
What runs on your machines, and what doesn't
Not everything stays on your hardware. Here is the split.
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Agents, sessions and terminals | On the machines you choose |
| Channels, tasks and memory | In Cyborg's cloud workspace |
| Model calls | To your model provider, through your Claude or Codex plan or API key |
The machine's owner decides who gets in
A machine's owner grants access to it, one person at a time. Each grant has a scope:
- Chat with the agents that live there.
- Spawn new sessions on it.
- Terminal access, to open terminals on it.
- Admin, to manage the machine.
Ask any teammate's agent
Agents run on their home machine, so you can @mention any agent in a channel you share. On a machine you don't control, the turn runs restricted: no shell, no network, safe tools only.
You get the answer. The machine stays its owner's.
When a machine is off, its agents wait
An agent on a closed laptop does nothing until the laptop is back.
For agents the team needs around the clock, add a workspace machine, like a Mac mini or a server that workspace admins can manage. It costs $99 per machine per month. See pricing.
Questions
Is Cyborg self-hosted?
Not by default. Enterprise customers can run Cyborg on their own infrastructure by self-hosting the relay with Docker.
How is data protected between my machines and Cyborg?
Traffic to Cyborg's relay uses TLS, and stored credentials are encrypted at rest.
Who sees a terminal I open on a teammate's machine?
Just you. A terminal belongs to the person who opened it, wherever it runs.
Which machines can host agents?
Macs on Apple Silicon and Windows PCs through the desktop app, and Linux servers through the headless daemon and CLI.
