Cobalt features

  • Dedicated cloud computer per task. Each coding task runs in its own isolated cloud environment with its own CPU/memory profile.
  • Multi-agent support. Connect Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Muse Code, OpenCode, Pi and others.
  • Live preview and diff. Agents can launch services, run tests and show a live browser preview with code diffs.
  • Automated Loops. Schedule recurring prompts to run automatically as traceable tasks.
  • Team collaboration. Engineers can watch, steer, review previews and pull requests from the browser.
  • Custom compute profiles. Choose from Starter to X-Large profiles, each consuming credits at a fixed rate.

Spawned features

  • CLI installer. One-line script installs the Spawned CLI for local management.
  • Agentic infrastructure. AI agents can provision and connect resources directly in your cloud account.
  • Unified dashboard. View deployments, environments, logs and policies from a single surface.
  • Terraform-compatible exports. All resources are exportable as Terraform code from the start.
  • Managed cloud option. Try Spawned on shared cloud credits without owning an account.
  • Spend alerts & budgets. Set usage limits and receive alerts to avoid unexpected cloud bills.
