Run Lobster

Each agent operates on an isolated cloud computer that includes its own browser, applications, terminal, and file system, allowing it to perform real work continuously without relying on the user’s local environment. The platform supplies a built‑in scheduler and dedicated compute resources, enabling agents to run 24/7 and handle tasks such as monitoring SEC filings, processing video clips, or reconciling financial records. Integration points cover over three thousand services, and agents can communicate through Slack, Discord, iMessage, or email.

The system is aimed at developers who need autonomous, long‑running processes that can interact with web interfaces, APIs, and local tools in a sandboxed setting. It supports a range of use cases, from market analysis and prediction‑market arbitrage to bookkeeping, crypto monitoring, and media production. By providing a full desktop‑like environment in the cloud, it lets developers automate complex workflows that would otherwise require manual browser interaction or custom scripting.

The core of the platform is open source, and the experimental maturity level indicates that it is still evolving. It offers a marketplace for agents, free credits for new users, and a focus on deep memory and proactive behavior, allowing teams to delegate repetitive or data‑intensive tasks to self‑contained agents.
