Eight ideas, two pairs of hands

A small studio has more ideas than hours. Every prototype needs a scaffold, a build and a first playable version before anyone can judge it.

On two laptops that means two agents at a time, and both stop the moment someone closes the lid for a call.

A studio morning

  1. 09:00

    Brief eight tabs

    Each tab on the founder's Max box gets one idea: a genre, a mechanic, a template to start from. Claude Code opens in every tab.

  2. 09:20

    Back to the real work

    The founders design and talk to players. The box builds, and the Terminals list shows which tab is working and which needs a decision.

  3. 12:30

    Play the prototypes

    Each prototype runs on its own port, so each has its own preview link. The second founder plays them side by side and picks two worth a week.

  4. 12:45

    Next batch

    Close the tabs that lost, brief new ones, go to lunch.

What one box does for a studio

  • Eight builders for $24

    Max's 8 vCPU and 16 GB run eight agent tabs and their dev servers at once.

  • Every prototype is a link

    Each dev server gets its own HTTPS preview URL, private until you make it public for a tester.

  • Nobody babysits a laptop

    The agents live on the box. Calls, lunch and closed lids leave them working.

  • One list, eight agents

    Terminals mode shows which tab is working, which is done and which needs a decision.

Questions about this

Can two people work on one box?

A box belongs to one account. The second founder plays prototypes through public preview links, or runs a box of their own.

How many agents fit on one box?

Up to ten tabs per box, each running the box's agent. Max's 8 vCPU and 16 GB is the size for a full house.

Does each prototype need its own setup to preview?

Start its dev server on its own port, bound to 0.0.0.0. Each one answers at https://<port>-<box>.detachbox.dev.
