Want to run an AI coding agent for hours or on a schedule without keeping your laptop open? Here's the problem: running an agent locally uses your own compute to execute terminal commands and modify files, so your computer has to stay on.
That falls apart for an 8-hour task, a job that runs daily, or anything long-running — and if you lose internet, your battery dies, or the machine sleeps or restarts, you lose all your progress.
The solution is a VPS, a virtual private server, where you can delegate long-running tasks and let them run reliably no matter what your laptop is doing.
