OpenComputer
Run TypeScript agents on real Linux machines with persistent, resumable sessions and pay-as-you-go billing.
About OpenComputer
The vendor defines an agent as a single TypeScript function that goes live to serve users as soon as it is deployed. The official site says each session runs on a real Linux machine equipped with a shell, file system, packages, and network; tools and MCP servers run on that machine, for example cloning repositories, running ffmpeg, or driving a browser. The official site says sessions are persistent: they can keep streaming output, be redirected mid-run, sleep when idle, and resume from their last progress. Billing is usage-based: model calls are passed through at API prices, machine time is billed by the second, and optional prepaid plans provide multiplied credit. On keys, the official site says keys never enter the runtime — each key is bound to a single source and injected after the request leaves the machine.
Best for
Best use cases
Clone repositories on the session machine and run tools such as ffmpeg
Drive a browser within a session to carry out tasks
Redirect long-running tasks mid-run and resume from the breakpoint after idle sleep
Have the agent open PRs; per the official site, keys are injected by the platform after the request leaves the machine
Features
Real Linux sessions
The vendor says each session runs on a real Linux machine with a shell, file system, packages, and network.
Tools and MCP servers
Tools and MCP servers run on the session machine, able to clone repositories, run ffmpeg, drive a browser, and install dependencies.
Persistent sessions
The vendor says sessions can stream output continuously, be redirected mid-run, sleep when idle, and resume from their last progress.
Key-binding injection
The vendor says keys never enter the runtime: each key is bound to a single source and injected after the request leaves the machine; it also says agents cannot read the tokens or send them elsewhere.

- Sessions are persistent and can be redirected mid-run and resumed from last progress
- Model calls pass through at API prices and machine time is billed by the second, at one uniform rate for everyone
- The vendor says each key is bound to a single source and injected after the request leaves the machine
