Coasty

Overview

Coasty is an AI agent platform and computer-use infrastructure provider designed to execute browser and desktop tasks autonomously. Operating inside isolated sandboxed virtual machines, Coasty uses vision models to turn real-time screen imagery into structured keyboard, mouse, and terminal actions. It handles end-to-end workflows across web platforms, legacy desktop applications, and ERPs without requiring custom APIs or selectors.

What it does

• • Converts real-time desktop screenshots into mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, and terminal commands using vision models
• • Executes computer-use AI agent tasks inside dedicated, isolated virtual machines for enterprise security
• • Coordinates parallel agent swarms with shared memory and agent-to-agent delegation for multi-step workflows
• • Navigates complex web sites, fills forms, and bypasses popups across Chrome, Edge, and desktop applications.

Who it's for

• AI Agent Developers & Builders
• QA & Software Testing Teams
• Sales Operations & Prospecting Teams
• Data Entry & Migration Engineers

Why it works

• Runs every AI agent session inside isolated cloud VMs to prevent unauthorized system access or noisy neighbors
• Eliminates brittle web selectors and scraping scripts by relying strictly on visual screenshot-to-action reasoning
• Offers flexible deployment choices across cloud sandboxes, open-source self-hosting, and local cross-platform Electron overlays
• Protects sensitive data through server-side encrypted credential injection so agents never expose raw keys.

Founder story

Coasty was built to solve the fragility and security risks associated with running autonomous AI agents on local developer machines or shared cloud runtimes. As vision-based AI agents gained computer-use capabilities, developers needed dedicated, isolated virtual machines that could safely browse, type, and execute code. The team built Coasty to provide safe, affordable computer-use infrastructure and agent automation.

Alternatives

• E2B
• Browserbase
• Browser Use
• Skyvern

Comparison overview

• Coasty provides complete computer-use capabilities across both web browsers and desktop applications inside sandboxed VMs.
• Alternative platforms like Browserbase or Browser Use focus primarily on headless browser scraping and DOM automation rather than full-desktop visual interaction.
