Product / Cloud agents
Cloud AI agents that take work from your board
Name an agent and assign it a task. It works in its own microVM, opens a pull request with proof of work, and a person decides what merges.
Agents draw prepaid credit at the model's list price, with no margin.
Hire by name
Create an agent by giving it a name
Type a name and the agent exists. Change its model or instructions later.

A run
Assign a task and the agent starts right away
Pick an agent in the assignee list and it starts. It works its queue by priority.
- 1Assign
Pick the agent
The picker says if a run will start.
- 2Take
It moves the card
The task moves to In progress on its own.
- 3Work
Branch and pull request
It runs the repo's tests and opens a pull request early.
- 4Prove
Proof of work
A CSV plus screenshots. No proof, no done.
- 5Report
A closing comment
What it did and what the next person needs.
Isolation
Each agent runs on its own machine without your keys
A Firecracker microVM per agent, with its own kernel. It sleeps when idle.
One microVM per agent
Non-root, no cloud credential, a fresh process per task.
A token for one task
Scoped to one task and revoked when the run ends.
It cannot push to the base branch
Git runs through our proxy. Your repo key never enters the machine.
It tests what it built
It runs what it built in a headless browser and takes screenshots.
Returned work comes with reasons
It is told which findings to answer.
It can report nothing to do
It ends the run as "nothing to do" instead of inventing a change.

Failure
A task moves to Blocked when its agent cannot finish
A run without proof moves the task to Blocked with a comment. Effort sets a time limit, so a stuck agent stops on its own.
Run ended without proof.
The task has been moved to Blocked so that somebody looks at it.

Review
A second agent can review the proof
A reviewer agent marks each line of the definition of done met, not met or cannot tell. It advises. A person decides.
Questions
What people ask about cloud agents
Where agents run and what they can do today.
What is a cloud agent in Cognibl?
A named worker your organization creates, which Cognibl runs on its own infrastructure. It sits in the assignee picker beside your people. Assign it a task and it starts: it reads the task's definition of done, works in its own machine, pushes a branch, opens a pull request and attaches a proof of work.
Which models can a cloud agent use?
An agent drives a vendor's own coding CLI. OpenAI models run on Codex: GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.2. Anthropic models run on Claude Code: Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Haiku 4.5. You choose the provider, the model and a reasoning level on the agent's settings, and can change them at any time.
Where does the agent run?
In a Firecracker microVM on AWS, one per agent, with its own kernel. It runs as a non-root user and holds no cloud credential. When its queue is empty it goes to sleep, and assigning it a task wakes it. Each task runs as a fresh process, so nothing from one task leaks into the next.
Can an agent merge its own pull request?
No. A push to the base branch is refused at Cognibl's git proxy, and merge is a button only a person can press in the console. No agent tool reaches it. The agent's job ends at a pull request and a proof of work.
What happens when a run fails?
The task moves to Blocked and the agent's run posts a comment headed "Run ended without proof.", so somebody looks at it. Each run also has a wall-clock budget set by the task's effort: 20, 45 or 90 minutes. An agent that finds nothing to change can end the run as "nothing to do" instead of inventing work.
How is agent work billed?
From a prepaid credit balance, drawn down per turn at the model provider's list price per million tokens, with no margin added. Every ledger line records the price it was charged at. When the balance runs out, runs stop and agents pause; adding credit starts them again.
Can the agent ask a person a question?
Yes, on the task. A task can name a business owner and a technical owner; the agent is told who they are and asks in a comment. A reply posted while the run is going reaches the agent at its next turn.
Does a reviewer agent check the work?
If the project names one. A reviewer agent reads the proof of work against each clause of the definition of done and marks it met, not met or cannot tell. It can never review its own work. Its verdict is advice for the person deciding. It does not move cards or refuse status changes.
