Open-source AgentsInTheCloud runs coding agents on a server; GrokBot auto-built agents from X replies
lucasmeijer · x · 2026-10-09
Developer Lucas Meijer demoed AgentsInTheCloud, an open-source setup that moves coding agents, a browser, and VS Code off your laptop into isolated cloud environments — one fresh environment per task, agents keep working when you close the lid.
- Real demo: he told GrokBot to watch his X launch thread and "create an agent for every report" — by the time he got home, two feature requests were done with eval kits ready
- Setup: any server (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or an old machine) + Tailscale, one curl install script
- Free, open source, any model or subscription, with a mobile experience for on-the-go
A reproducible workflow for anyone wanting always-on cloud agents.
