# Islo - Everything Coding Agents Need

> Secure, persistent computers for autonomous coding agents: background agents, scoped gateway access, private-cloud deployment modes, untrusted LLM code isolation, and PR verification.

## What is Islo?

Islo is everything coding agents need: secure, persistent computers connected to your tools and environment. Background agents keep working with real development environments, run inside customer cloud/VPC networks, turn support tickets into PRs, execute untrusted LLM code in isolation, and verify PRs against a full running stack — connected to GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira, private services, and audit systems.

- Orchestrates agents - tickets in, computers up, agents work, PRs out
- Runs 24/7 - close your laptop, check the PR in the morning
- Connected to your tools - scoped access to GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira
- Gateway between agents and your org - credentials injected, egress controlled, responses filtered, risky requests blocked, requests audited
- Real development environments - same repo, deps, services, browser, config, and env vars
- Private cloud deployment mode - run agent computers inside customer cloud/VPC networks with existing routes, policies, and audit sinks
- Jump in anytime - seamless handoff from unattended to attended
- Isolated and secure - each agent runs in its own computer
- Use-case workflows - background agents, support tickets to PR, untrusted code, and PR verification tests; private cloud is a deployment mode for those workflows

## Key Features

- **Orchestrates Agents**: Tickets flow in, computers spin up, agents work, PRs ship out
- **Runs 24/7**: Agents work while you sleep, no laptop required
- **Connected to Your Tools**: Scoped access to GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira
- **Gateway**: A control plane between agents and your org — credentials injected at egress (keys never enter the computer or the model context), per-computer egress policies, response filtering that keeps token usage down, content-based request blocking that stops exfiltration before it leaves, and per-request audit trails
- **Real Development Environments**: Same repo, deps, services, browser, config, and env vars as your laptop
- **Private Cloud Deployment Mode**: Run agent computers inside customer cloud/VPC networks with gateway profiles, existing routes, policies, and audit sinks
- **Watches Ticket Boards**: Agents pick up work from Linear automatically
- **Ticket to PR**: Agents reproduce tickets, patch code, run tests, and open PRs
- **Untrusted Code**: Run LLM-generated scripts on throwaway isolated computers
- **PR Verification**: Agents browse and test a full stack before merge (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, or agent-driven flows)
- **Jump In Anytime**: Seamless handoff from unattended to attended mode
- **Computer Isolation**: Each agent runs in its own secure computer
- **Connect from Anywhere**: Check in from terminal, Slack, or phone

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install the CLI
curl https://islo.dev/install.sh | bash

# Login
islo login

# Spin up a long-running computer for your agent
islo use --agent claude

# Or give it a task upfront
islo use --agent claude --task "Refactor payments to use Stripe webhooks"

# Reconnect later - it keeps running
islo use swift-lantern

# Snapshots
islo snapshot save <name> --name <snapshot>
islo use <name> --snapshot <snapshot>
```
