Maritime

Hi HN, my name is Maria, and I’m a co-founder of Maritime. We started Maritime at MIT to build infrastructure for companies that need to run thousands of isolated AI agents for their customers. Imagine you set up an agent like OpenClaw, or a personal assistant agent with a custom framework, and want to give a separate version of it to every customer/friend. Each customer needs their own agent running in an isolated microVM, with persistent state, secrets, triggers, and sleep/wake behavior. Building such scalable and secure infra will take you months and will cost hundreds of…

In plain words

Maritime is a deployment platform for running isolated AI agents in the cloud without managing infrastructure. Companies can deploy custom agents, OpenClaw, or similar frameworks and give each customer their own dedicated microVM with persistent state and security isolation. The platform handles scaling, automatic infrastructure setup, and agent lifecycle management through a simple API. It costs $1 per agent per month and is designed for companies that need to run thousands of customer-facing agents simultaneously.

From the sources

Maritime is a deployment platform for AI agents that lets you run OpenClaw, ZeroClaw, and custom agents in the cloud without managing infrastructure. You can deploy in minutes, run agents reliably, and scale as needed, all through a simple interface starting at $1/month.

The simplest way to deploy, manage, and scale AI agents. Sleep/wake micro-VMs and flat plans that work out to $1 per agent per month. Push your code, get a live API endpoint.

Run thousands of customer-facing AI agents on Maritime with isolated microVMs, effortless scaling, and fully managed infrastructure. Every signup gets its own agent. One API call brings up a dedicated micro-VM: tagged with your IDs, holding its own secrets, sending you lifecycle webhooks. No shared workers. No customer data in another customer's VM. Tag agents with external IDs so your database stays the source of truth. Fully non-interactive, so your own agents can provision agents. Maritime detects your framework, builds an isolated micro-VM, and puts your agent live. No infra to wire up. Run one agent or hundreds. Each VM is sized to its work and sleeps when idle, so you never pay for a…from maritime.sh

    Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

  • Eve – Managed OpenClaw for workApr 2026 · eve.new · ▲72

    Eve is an AI agent harness that runs in an isolated Linux sandbox (2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 10GB disk) with a real filesystem, headless Chromium, code execution, and connectors to 1000+ services. You give it a task and it works in the background until it's done. I built this because I wanted OpenClaw without the self-hosting, pointed at actual day-to-day work. I’m thinking less personal assistant and more helpful colleague. Here’s a short demo video: https://www.loom.com/share/00d11bdbe804478e8817710f5f53ac61 The main interface is a web app where you can watch work happen in…
