What is exe.dev?
exe.dev rents real virtual machines that you or your AI agents reach over SSH with root access, so agents can build and run software on their own computer. It handles login, secrets and HTTPS for apps on those VMs, which suits developers deploying internal tools or agent-built apps.
You buy a pool of CPU and memory and split it into as many VMs as you need, each with fast, persistent and replicated NVMe storage that starts and forks quickly. Apps can be kept private behind exe.dev login or made public, and VMs can run in several regions.
An LLM gateway adds your provider key for OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Fireworks or Deepgram so the VM never holds it. You can also connect Google Calendar or Gmail so the agent on a VM acts for you, and getting started can be done through ChatGPT.
