Time to value
Quick Setup (< 1 hour)
You can use boat to create and manage persistent Linux virtual machines tailored for running AI agents. It gives your agents full Ubuntu environments with root access, pre-installed tools like Docker, Git, Node.js, and Chrome, plus full desktop streaming at 60 frames per second. You can run automated coding sessions, fork environments from snapshots, and connect via SSH or API. Billing runs strictly per second, and stopping a machine automatically snapshots your files and pauses all costs until you resume.
