I think Cloud Agents are the future, but I’ll be honest I don’t see how a third party provider survives in this space.
1. It’s really not that hard to stand this up on your own. GitHub agentic workflows gets you 95% of the way there already.
2. Anthropic and Cursor are already playing in this space and likely will eat your lunch.
IMO, the only way you can survive is to make this deployable behind the firewall. If you could do that then I would seriously consider using your product.
On gh-aw: it looks solid for the event-driven automation shape (triage, docs sync, CI fix). We're after a slightly different shape: interactive back-and-forth, steering from Slack or Linear, persistent sandboxes with a booted dev server for live previews. Thanks for the pointer, I'll dig into it more.
On labs eating our lunch: it's definitely a risk. Our bet is that reusing lab-native CLIs is enough to position ourselves in the market
On behind the firewall: it's something we're looking into. We open-sourced agentbox-sdk in that direction.
