exe.dev
exe.dev is a cloud service offering instant Linux virtual machines for developers and AI agents. It aims to remove the friction of provisioning and configuring local or remote development environments, allowing users to spin up an isolated VM in seconds. Users can access these VMs via standard SSH or through an API, making the service suitable for both interactive use and programmatic orchestration. The VMs are ephemeral by design, providing a clean environment for each session or task, which is particularly useful for running untrusted code or parallel experiments. The service positions itself as infrastructure for AI agents that need to execute commands, manipulate files, or install packages in a controlled Linux environment, as well as for developers who want a quick sandbox without managing virtual machines themselves.
