Describe the bug. Agent reads the error, opens the browser, finds the component, patches the CSS, reloads to verify. You never left the Buda tab.

The gap

You're coding in 7 windows. And paying for 3 of them.

VS Code, browser, iTerm, Cursor chat, Claude Code, docs, staging dashboard — you Alt+Tab a thousand times a day

Your AI writes code but can't see the browser. You copy-paste errors into chat like a butler

Codespaces bills you by the hour. 80% of that hour you were in a meeting

Change laptops? Spend a day reconfiguring your dev environment

Why Buda

Build a workflow around AI-native Cloud IDE.

🎯

One Screen, Full Closed Loop

Browser preview, terminal, agent chat, file tree — all in one layout. Describe a change, watch it run, debug in place. Zero Alt+Tab.

👀

Your AI Sees What You See

Agents read your browser DOM, terminal output, and screenshots. They debug the UI by actually looking at it, not guessing from your description.

💤

Sleep = Free

Per-environment billing. Sandbox auto-sleeps when idle, wakes in 10 seconds. No more surprise Codespaces bills after a day of meetings.

Capabilities

The practical building blocks behind AI-native Cloud IDE.

🌐

Multi-tab Browser Preview

Run your app on any port, open it as a tab inside Buda. Chrome DevTools integrated. Agent reads the DOM.

⌨️

Integrated Terminal

Full bash / zsh. Output streams back to the agent so it can debug by itself.

🔌

VS Code Remote SSH

Prefer your local VS Code? Connect via Remote SSH and use the sandbox as a remote dev machine.

🔀

GitHub Issue → PR Automation

PM Agent triages issues. Coder Agent writes the fix and opens a PR. You just approve.

💸

Per-Environment Billing

You pay for a sandbox, not for CPU-hours. Idle 30 min → auto sleep → zero cost. 10s cold start.

📱

Cross-Device Continuity

Your sandbox lives in the cloud. Switch laptops, pick up on an iPad, keep coding from a cafe.

Use cases

Start with the workflow that hurts today.

Pick one workflow with repeated demand, visible ownership, and measurable output. Buda gives that team agents, memory, tools, and a shared workspace.

Fix a UI Bug Without Switching Windows

Describe the bug. Agent reads the error, opens the browser, finds the component, patches the CSS, reloads to verify. You never left the Buda tab.

🔁
Solo maintainers of small SaaS

Run the Full GitHub Issue Loop

Customer reports a bug in Discord. PM Agent opens a GitHub issue. Coder Agent implements the fix and opens a PR. You approve. Done.

🏃
GitHub Codespaces users

Codespaces Refugees

Move from Codespaces in 5 minutes. git clone, pnpm install, done. Same VS Code via Remote SSH. But sleep is free and the Agent ships with you.

🗂️
2-3 side project maintainers

Multi-Project Solopreneur

One sandbox per side project. They all sleep when idle. Jump between them instantly. Never touch your local machine.

Pilot plan

Start with one useful workflow, then expand.

Week 1

Choose one workflow

Start with Fix a UI Bug Without Switching Windows. Keep the scope narrow enough that the output is easy to review.

Week 2

Assign agents and controls

Create the workspace, invite members, assign agents, define files, tools, and usage boundaries.

Week 3

Measure output and spend

Review artifacts, credit usage, ownership, and execution history before expanding scope.

Week 4

Expand or stop cleanly

If the workflow proves value, repeat the model in another team. If not, you still have a governed record.

Close the loop. Ship faster. Sleep free.

Free tier forever. Upgrade when you outgrow it.
