Pick the surface that matches your goal. Each surface has its own Tutorial that ends with a working result. New here? Start with the Agents tutorial.
Agents
Persistent isolated Linux VMs running code-server in your browser, for AI coding agents and dev work. If you have used Gitpod, GitHub Codespaces, Coder, e2b, or Daytona, Agents are the CrabGlamp version — pick a size and a region, click open, and a code-server tab loads in under a minute.
Audience: developers running coding agents or remote IDE sessions.
Plain VMs
Bare Linux machines you SSH into directly — no Docker image, no managed IDE. If you have used Fly.io Machines, Hetzner Cloud direct, or DigitalOcean Droplets, Plain VMs are the same shape: pick a tier, a region, an OS image, attach a public key from your account Vault, and connect over SSH.
Audience: developers who want a Linux box with an IP.

GlampHub
Publish and discover environment snapshots, called "glamps," that you can reuse to spin up new Agents. If you have used Hugging Face Hub for models, dotfiles repos, or GitHub Gists, GlampHub is the same idea applied to reproducible dev environments — author them on an Agent, publish the tarball, then adopt them from any account.
Audience: authors sharing reproducible setups, users adopting them.
LLM proxy and voice
Platform-issued virtual keys that proxy LLM, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text requests through a central gateway with a shared per-key spend cap. If you have used LiteLLM, OpenRouter, or ElevenLabs direct, the proxy gives you one cg-pk-… key that routes to OpenAI, Anthropic, and ElevenLabs without holding their credentials yourself.
Audience: developers pooling LLM and voice spend, enforcing caps, or avoiding direct provider key management.

App integrations
OAuth broker that holds encrypted refresh tokens for third-party services and serves fresh access tokens to agents on demand. If you have used Nango, Supabase Auth, or hand-rolled OAuth flows, App integrations is the same pattern — authorize Google, GitHub, or Spotify in the dashboard once and let any Agent on your account fetch a current token.
Audience: developers whose agents need user credentials for outside services.

Routing by goal
If you do not know which surface you need:
- Run an AI coding agent in a sandbox → Agents.
- Stand up a bare Linux box for one-off work → Plain VMs.
- Share a tuned dev environment with a teammate → GlampHub, on top of an Agent.
- Centralize LLM or voice spend across many calls → LLM proxy and voice.
- Hand your agent a Google or GitHub session → App integrations.
