Discuss what you need

What does running it involve?

Provide a supported Ubuntu server, domain and DNS. The installer prepares the platform; you create the administrator and install a Machine Management Runner from Studio. Keep backups and schedule updates: replacing the server containers can briefly interrupt API, Studio and Worker.

Bring your own AI tools

Your coding agent works locally and uses the CLI to deploy. Automaton does not require an AI subscription from us or include bundled AI credits. Connect the CLI to your own API URL and approve login in your own Studio.
