Run a Hermes agent
“I want a personal assistant that answers me on Telegram, remembers what I tell it and runs jobs on a schedule.”
Use cases
What do you want to run?
Each guide starts from one program people actually run, explains what it needs from a machine in plain terms, shows how hard it is to set up on each provider, and prices it with the calculator.
Run an OpenClaw agent
“I want OpenClaw answering me on WhatsApp or Slack, with its own browser and memory, without keeping my laptop on.”
Give a coding agent its own machine
“I want Claude Code or Codex to work on my code in the cloud, not on my laptop.”
Run code inside your own product
“My app lets users or an LLM run code, and I need somewhere safe to run it.”
Run a browser or computer-use agent
“I want an agent that opens websites, clicks and fills in forms, or uses a whole desktop.”
Host your own n8n
“I want n8n running my automations around the clock, on a server I control, without paying per workflow run.”
Host your own Discord or Slack bot
“I wrote a bot that answers questions in our Discord or Slack using an AI model, and I need somewhere for it to live.”
Give a small team Claude Code in the cloud
“Three to five of us want Claude Code running on cloud machines, each with our own login, without sharing one account.”
Run a scraper on a schedule
“I want a script that checks a few websites four times a day and saves what it finds, without paying for a machine that sits idle.”
Host your own MCP server
“I built tools for Claude as an MCP server, and I want it at a web address so Claude can use them without anything running on my laptop.”
