exe.dev

exe.dev is a cloud computing platform that gives developers and AI agents instant, durable virtual machines (they call them sandboxes). You SSH in as root, get full control with apt and systemd, and can spin up as many VMs as your resource pool allows. The platform is API-first, so you can create and manage machines programmatically. It also includes a built-in AI web agent named Shelley that can help you code, build apps, and run tasks directly on your VMs.

How it works: you buy a pool of CPU, RAM, and disk — for example, $20/month gets you enough resources to run 50 things. From there, you can launch any number of VMs, each persistent and private by default. You can share them with teammates using IAM. Shelley, the AI agent, can take a prompt like "Install OpenClaw" and handle the setup, or even build a full web app. The platform also offers pre-baked prompts for common tasks like starting a blog, creating a team, or cloning a repo. VMs come with a public HTTPS proxy and SSH access, making them easy to use for both development and production.

exe.dev is ideal for developers who want fast, disposable environments for prototyping, testing, or running side projects. It's also great for AI agent developers who need a sandboxed environment for their agents to work in. Teams can collaborate on shared VMs, and the startup program offers tailored plans. Real-world uses include vibecoding a backoffice app, coding on a phone, or running data analysis with SQL and visualization tools. The platform has a strong community following and recently raised a $35M Series A.
