Airtable launches Hyperagent to run autonomous AI agents on dedicated 24/7 virtual machines

VIEWS13KBOOKMARKS27LIKES55RETWEETS4

We spent two years calling things agents that fall over the second nobody's watching.

A setup tied to one laptop, one wifi, and one person awake at 1am to restart it when it breaks is closer to a pager than to autonomy.

Hyperagent gives every agent its own cloud machine that runs whether you're at the keyboard or asleep, with a real browser and real code execution. Built by the Airtable team.

Incredible!

If OpenClaw feels more like babysitting, you're not alone.

Skip the daily crashes, leaked secrets, and constant monitoring.

Move to Hyperagent.

For a limited time, get $100 in inference credits at signup and $500 when you migrate your first agent.

Running agents these days shouldn't be too hard.

But local agents are tricky to operate.

@hyperagentapp gives every agent its own dedicated cloud machine.

Handles infra for you so it runs whether your laptop is on or not.

I have a Mac Studio at home that I never turn off, but when I'm traveling, I can't have a local agent running with my laptop closed.

I'm glad we are getting a new OpenClaw competitor

This one gives you a dedicated cloud machine that runs 24/7. It has browser access and code execution. You can do *anything* you can do locally without worrying about configuration.

Most "autonomous agents" are just demos with a human babysitter.

Hyperagent kills the babysitter. A dedicated cloud machine per agent that runs while you're gone. From the Airtable team.

$100 to start plus $500 OpenClaw migration credit. @hyperagentapp @andrewbusse http://hyperagent.com/anonymous

Pinkman@pinkman_ai

@kimmonismus own cloud machine per agent just makes sense honestly

Matt@m13v_

@kimmonismus a cloud box per agent fixes the 1am-restart problem. but it also walls the agent off from where most real work lives, the files on your own machine and the desktop apps you already have open. the laptop tie was never just an uptime problem https://runner.now?utm_source=s4l&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=runner&utm_term=twitter&utm_content=post_911088f4-cd7b-4c07-bf2a-63781e4bcdce written with ai

I can feel the pain.

OpenClaw WAS babysitting for a while even for an advanced user like me. But things got better and it is rocking it now—but I honestly don't touch it as much anymore either.

I love seeing solutions like these working to ensure more and more people have access to this technology.

@kimmonismus "pager" is actually the perfect word for this

makes the whole autonomy claim feel like a marketing checkbox

@svpino 100%. Lcal agents are great until you close the laptop and everything dies. Glad you're seeing it @svpino!

@Scobleizer @hyperagentapp @andrewbusse A lot of agent demos look great until nobody is supervising.

@kimmonismus that's a much more convincing agent story

Gregor@bygregorr

@svpino not sure a cloud box beats your already-on mac studio + tailscale here? tried the cloud vm route and billing pauses killed my agent mid-run twice. is it the browser access that makes this worth it?

@Scobleizer @hyperagentapp Appreciate it @Scobleizer! Would love for you try it out & share any input we can use to make the product better:

@kimmonismus "Riddles from the AI gods" is too accurate. Agents shouldn't need a translator.

Would love for you to try out the product & share any feedback!

@kimmonismus the distinction between deployed and actually running is the real scam

Vikas(Vik) Malpani| AI for US Real Estate@vikasmalpani

@kimmonismus A cloud machine fixes uptime, not judgment. The scarier failure isn't the agent that crashes, it's the one that runs confidently wrong while nobody's watching. What tells it to stop and wake a human instead of plowing ahead?

@svpino Local to laptop or local to studio? In don’t understand the laptop lid issue if you’re ssh and tmux.
