Launch AI agents locally or on the cloud

Any agent, on your infrastructure — wired to The Grid API.

Pick an Agent

  • Claude Code

    Anthropic's AI coding agent — plan, build, and ship code across your entire codebase

  • Cursor CLI

    Cursor's AI coding agent — plan, build, and ship from the terminal

  • OpenClaw

    Your personal AI — any channel, any model, from the terminal

  • Codex CLI

    OpenAI's lightweight coding agent for the terminal

  • OpenCode

    The open-source AI coding agent

  • Kilo Code

    All-in-one AI coding platform — 100+ providers, one CLI

  • Hermes Agent

    Persistent AI agent with memory, tools, and multi-platform messaging

  • Junie

    JetBrains' AI coding agent — BYOK with The Grid, IDE-quality intelligence in the terminal

  • Pi

    Minimal terminal coding harness — multi-provider, extensible, tree sessions

  • T3 Code

    In testing

    Minimal web GUI for coding agents — browse, code, and ship via Claude or Codex

Without the CLI

One curl command. No global install.

shell
bash <(curl -fsSL https://agentsea.dev.thegrid.ai/digitalocean/openclaw.sh)

Under the Hood

There are two layers: your laptop (install the CLI once), then your cloud.

Do this first — one time on your computer

Install the agentsea CLI

Paste into a terminal (macOS, Linux, or WSL). When it finishes, the agentsea command should work. Everything below assumes this step is done.

install
curl -fsSL https://agentsea.dev.thegrid.ai/install.sh | bash

Same script via process substitution: bash <(curl -fsSL https://agentsea.dev.thegrid.ai/install.sh) · npm, env vars, and auth in the CLI guide.

On each launch, the CLI provisions your cloud VM and installs the agent.

  1. 1

    Provision

    Authenticate to your cloud (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, GCP, …) via environment variables or saved config under ~/.config/agentsea/.

  2. 2

    Bootstrap

    Cloud-init pulls the bootstrap script (/sh/<cloud>/<agent>.sh) referenced in the CDN URL pattern below.

  3. 3

    Wire The Grid

    The VM inherits THEGRID_API_KEY and OpenAI-compatible base URLs targeting the Grid API — billing stays on-platform.

  4. 4

    Run over SSH

    The CLI hands you an SSH session — you drive the interactive agent (TTY) locally with full terminal support.

Then use the CLI

After the installer completes, run commands like:

shell
# With agentsea on your PATH, try:
agentsea                              # Interactive picker
agentsea openclaw digitalocean         # Launch directly
agentsea ls                            # List your deployments

Why AgentSea?

The fastest way to deploy Grid-backed agents on infrastructure you control.

Agent-agnostic

Start with OpenClaw, Codex, or OpenCode, and switch with a single command as more agents land.

Bring your own cloud

Your provider account, your keys — we orchestrate, you own the bill and the data plane.

Fully sandboxed

Each agent runs in an isolated VM and credential boundary — no cross-talk between sessions.

The Grid inference

Inference routes through the Grid API (OpenAI-compatible) — budgets, keys, and usage on-platform.

CLI reference

The Grid API key, DigitalOcean tokens, environment variables, and every flag — documented in the CLI guide.
