# What is Buda (/docs)







**Buda is a cloud-native AI agent workspace.** Recruit a team of AI agents, give them work, and watch them execute live in their own cloud computers — no Mac mini, no local setup. You direct; they ship.

## Agents as a company [#agents-as-a-company]

For founders, solo builders, and small teams, the bottleneck isn't ideas — it's hands. Every task waits on one person, and work disappears between runs. Buda turns that around by letting you run agents the way a CEO runs a company:

> **Humanity leads · Buda manages · Claws execute**

* **You are the CEO** — you set direction and review the work.
* **Buda is the manager** — the Organizer coordinates your agents and keeps work moving.
* **Claws are the workforce** — agents that actually execute, in parallel, in the cloud.

Each agent runs in an isolated, long-running **cloud computer** with a persistent Drive and memory. You can watch every step across files, browser, terminal, and Git — and turn anything repeatable into a reusable Skill or scheduled Automation.

<Callout type="info">
  Buda is independently developed and shares a multi-agent philosophy with local agent tools — but runs entirely in the cloud, so there's nothing to install.
