Background Agents
Autonomous cloud-based coding agents that work on separate branches in isolated VMs, tackling complex tasks in parallel while developers focus on other work.
Background Agents are autonomous AI-powered coding assistants that run in isolated Ubuntu virtual machines with internet access, operating independently on their own git branches while developers continue working. Each agent can handle complete features, refactoring projects, test suites, documentation updates, and debugging sessions without constant supervision. Developers can monitor agent status in real time, send follow-up instructions, or take over at any point, and the agents will pause if a developer begins editing files they are working on. Upon completion, Background Agents can open pull requests for human review.
