We research how agents can safely operate complex computer systems, and we commercialize that work through Clanker Cloud.

A safe way for anyone to use agents on their computer and their production systems.

Model agnostic. Tool agnostic. Computer agnostic. Download and start. It just works.

Clanker Cloud

Cloud for agents. Agents for humans.

Our goal is to be the platform where users and companies get their agents, deploy their agents, and automate their work. We own the harness, the cloud, and the platform so teams can control where their data, inference, and agentic workflows go.

  • Clanker Secretary An assistant that can use the user's computer, manage work locally or from the web, and turn everyday work into repeatable services.
  • Clanker DevOps A cloud and tool agnostic workspace for SDLC operations, SRE, FinOps, security scans, and production-aware infrastructure work.
  • Clanker Sandboxes Computer environments for agents, built to start simple and grow into safe agent runtime infrastructure.
