computer agents features
- Persistent Cloud Computer. Each agent gets its own isolated cloud container with file system, browser and terminal access.
- Project Workspaces. Shared context, tasks, releases and files let multiple agents coordinate like a team.
- Trigger & Schedule. Agents can be started via email, webhooks or cron schedules and keep state across runs.
- SDKs & API. Official Python and TypeScript SDKs plus a REST API for creating agents, projects and resources.
- Custom Skills. Add built-in or user-defined tools to extend agent capabilities within the same environment.
- Resource Deployment. Publish web apps, APIs, functions and databases directly from an agent’s project.
- Security & Isolation. Containers are isolated, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with audit logs and SSO for Enterprise.
- Agent Email Addresses. Give agents a unique email so inbound messages can start or continue workflows.
LangChain features
- Build agents fast. Start with proven patterns, customize harness, context, memory and model choice.
- Trace-based testing. Debug runs with step-by-step tracing and query complex traces instantly.
- Managed deployments. Deploy long-running agents with serverless or dedicated sandboxes and 30+ endpoints.
- Production monitoring. Online evals, dashboards and alerts track quality, cost, latency and errors.
- Feedback loop engine. Automatically detect issues, diagnose root causes and feed fixes back into evals.
- Governance controls. Enforce cost limits, data redaction and human approval via LLM Gateway.
