exe.dev

exe.dev is a platform that creates computing resources for developers and teams. It offers durable sandboxes and a web agent to help build apps, with a focus on fast, secure, shareable environments. The system presents computers as persistent VMs that users can reserve, access via SSH, and manage through IAM. The aim is to provide developers with isolated, private, and scalable computing resources that can be shared with collaborators when needed.

exe.dev operates by offering pools of vCPUs and memory that back virtual machines. Users sign in, select a compute pool, and run long-lived VMs that are accessible over HTTPS. The VMs share the underlying hardware resources and support standard Linux tooling like apt and systemd. The platform emphasizes persistence and private-by-default configurations with controlled sharing through identity and access management.

exe.dev highlights a built-in web agent called Shelley for coding tasks. It also provides Google integrations to connect Calendar or Gmail to the agent on the VM, enabling actions like adding events or sending mail under user-granted permissions. The design centers on integrations that request only the permissions they need and on user-controlled removal of access at any time, with a privacy notice outlining data handling.

Use cases

• Developers run long‑lived, persistent VMs for code and testing
• Teams allocate compute pools across regions
• Share web servers with others or make them public
