I've been building Cyqle for a while — it's a shared cloud desktop you open in a browser tab and invite people into. Everyone gets their own cursor and keyboard. Think Google Docs, but for an entire Linux machine.
The use cases that surprised me most once people started using it:
- AI agent sandboxing — spin up a disposable desktop, hand it to an agent, let it browse/run/execute freely, close it when done. Zero risk to anything local. The filesystem is encrypted with a session-unique key; when the session closes, the key is destroyed. The data is cryptographically gone, not just deleted.
- Pair programming without the "can you see my screen?" dance — you're both actually in the same environment, not just watching each other.
- Reproducing bugs — "here's the link, you're already inside the same exact environment"
We also just shipped a ready-to-run Picoclaw snapshot — a lighter, less resource-intensive build of OpenClaw with a custom wizard we developed so you can get up and running in a few clicks, no config archaeology required.
Sessions are ephemeral by default. Persistent mode and snapshots available if you need state. Full root, install anything.
Free tier has no credit card. Would love feedback from people building AI workflows — the sandboxing side is where I think there's real untapped potential.
