Questions about this
Is detachbox an agent like Devin?
No, detachbox is the compute. The agent is the one you choose: Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, preinstalled and running with approvals off.
What does a long run cost?
The price of your size, from $39 a month, plus the subscription or key you already have. On a subscription, the model's usage counts against your plan's limits, which the limits board shows.
Can a whole team use it?
Yes. Each engineer runs their own Compute, with every project and terminal their size allows. Running a larger team? Tell us about it on the teams page.
