Nalin and Justin here; we’re building [Scrapybara](https://scrapybara.com) to help you deploy AI agents that can use computers. We handle deployment, maintenance and scaling so your agent just sees 👇\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/8e055289-f7a9-42f4-895e-df83e7a61e28)\n\n**TL;DR**\n\n**_Deploy and productionize computer use._**\n\nScrapybara provides instant, secure virtual desktop environments via API for AI agents to perform tasks. We reduce deployment time from hours to seconds through our purpose-built platform.\n\n[https://youtu.be/ZjPTAb5bg-w](https://youtu.be/ZjPTAb5bg-w?si=8PVUmhtHmdC6iPr2)\n\n## 💻 For Instance\n\n* _A **Market Research Firm** could have their agent browse news sites, create summaries, and update their internal dashboards, all on Scrapybara_\n* _A **Healthcare Administrator** could use agents to process insurance forms and operate ERP software (even the kind that only runs on desktops), all on Scrapybara_\n* _A **Sales Development Representative** could use agents to find information on leads, reach out to them and update their Salesforce, all on Scrapybara_\n\n## 🚨 The Problem: AI Needs a Safe Place to Execute\n\nAI agents are becoming increasingly capable of writing code, analyzing data, and performing complex tasks. However, there's a critical missing piece: a secure, scalable environment where these agents can actually take actions. Current solutions force developers to choose between:\n\n* Using APIs (limited, inflexible)\n* Using browsers (unstable)\n\n**_Don’t run AI agents on your own computer._**\n\n## 💡 Our Solution: Purpose-Built Computers for AI\n\nScrapybara provides instant, secure virtual environments via API that spin up within seconds and are specifically designed for AI agents:\n\n🚀 **Speed**\n\n* Environment creation in seconds\n* Pre-warmed container pool\n* Optimized runtime layers\n\n🔒 **Security**\n\n* Isolated execution environments\n* Resource limits and timeouts\n\n💰 **Cost Optimization**\n\n* True per-second billing\n* Zero idle costs\n* Automatic resource scaling\n\n🔌 **Simple Integration**\n\n* REST API\n* Popular language SDKs\n* One-line deployment\n* Built-in monitoring\n* Plug and play with Claude’s Computer Use\n\n## 🤖 Getting Started\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/3d2131de-561f-44d6-b067-ca4ec82d4da8)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/9cf26326-1a29-462f-a521-7756714eba11)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/47fbd307-bf81-4be9-9286-f54124f7f512)\n\nTaking screenshots:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/df36a97f-b1c3-445f-b15d-412ef6cc63ca)\n\nTaking actions:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/bf4cb53b-f5e5-4542-a141-f3c2a02a9496)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85645\u0026key=user_uploads/531507/594f98c1-7eb1-4862-9fb8-d81f02f9547d)\n\n## ♾️ Limitless Possibilities\n\nPlug your multimodal agents into Scrapybara and empower them to automate all kinds of work.
