Work that keeps running after you close the tab

An agent with its own computer.

Give it a goal, then close the tab. It keeps planning, researching, and building in a dedicated container on Second Machine hardware. The work persists across sessions, and every job's actual cost appears as its own line item.

Provenance

Built on open source, and we say so.

Second Machine is built on OpenAgent, an Apache 2.0 licensed open-source project, itself built on AFFiNE. The upstream license and attribution ship with the source.

We publish this rather than hide it. The whole argument for this product is that you can inspect what you are paying for, and that argument does not survive a hidden lineage. The license requires the notice in any case.

14 days, 500K tokens, no charge until day 15. Plans from $29 a month.
