Coasty is also available as an API.
You send a task in plain language, the agent gets a fresh environment, does the work, and returns structured results plus a full action log. Every click and keystroke is recorded, so you can replay exactly what the agent did. Setup takes 2 to 5 minutes per environment, then the agent runs unattended until the task is done or it decides a human should take over. You can switch out any part of the harness and use/call whatever you need. Completely modular and transparent with the pricing at the end(Doc) for every type of call.
Docs are at Coasty/Docs. The quickstart gets you to a first running task in a few minutes. If you build something with it, tell me. I read everything in this thread.
Is there a list of all softwares it supports?
Coasty
@ankur_jeswani It supports any software you can run on your desktop or the Virtual Machines we have, since it just uses a screen, mouse and keyboard.
Curious how the cold start time compares to something like a warm lambda since spinning up a fresh VM per agent sounds like it could add real latency for quick browser automation tasks.
Coasty
@vedat2091990 Hey we currently do cold starts, so wait times are longer, but watch out for updates :) we will make it superfast in upcoming times
Spun up a few agents to test browser automation and each one felt genuinely separated from the others, no weird latency when running them in parallel. The teardown being clean is a nice touch too, nothing lingering in the background.

@ekrem1698809 Thank you, hope you can be our customers
a dedicated VM per agent instead of a shared container pool is a real security win but I'd expect that to cost noticeably more per-agent, not less. how are you undercutting AWS/GCP on price while giving up the efficiency of shared compute - is it just thinner margins, or some trick on the VM provisioning side
Coasty
@omri_ben_shoham1 definitely made tradeoffs in some areas.
Spun up a couple of agents to test browser automation and the VM isolation actually felt real, nothing leaked between them. Pricing is noticeably cheaper than what I was paying on GCP for similar sandboxes.
Spun up an agent for a browser automation test and it felt noticeably faster than my usual container setup, plus the per-VM isolation gave me real peace of mind for multi-agent runs.
how fast does the VM actually spin up when I need to fire off a quick agent task, is there cold start latency to worry about
