What it does

Matrix OS gives you and your AI agents a persistent computer in the cloud. Run Claude Code, Codex and other agents without tying them to your laptop. Keep your files, repos, terminals and apps running, close your laptop, and come back from any device. Run multiple agents in parallel, or self-host Matrix for full control.

Build apps, run AI agents and connect your tools on your own private cloud computer. A self-expanding OS for the way you work.

We’ll email your download page and keep any creator code with it. Describe an app you need and AI builds it on your own private cloud computer. Use it, improve it, and keep your apps, files and agents in one place. We’ll email your download page and keep any creator code with it. Describe a tracker, planner, or dashboard and make it part of your workspace. Give them tasks with your files, apps, and tools in the same place. Use supported agents with your own provider accounts. AI subscriptions and usage are billed separately by your provider. Open the same cloud computer through the desktop app, browser, or terminal. A tracker, a planner, a dashboard. Start with a simple idea and shape it…from matrix-os.com

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models.

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on PaperPod, an experiment in making compute native to AI agents. PaperPod is a sandbox runtime where coding agents like Claude Code can autonomously execute code, write files, run background processes, expose ports (preview URLs) etc. and pay per ms of usage via the agent native x402 payment protocol. No API keys or complex setup needed. This is early (alpha), but fully usable today with free compute included, no wallets needed, just use your email as X-User-Id in the request! A sample prompt to get started: To use PaperPod compute: 1. Get session: POST…

    Hi HN, i am Dimitris, I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding. For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage. So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for coding, and as a personal assistant for daily use. So for the past months I built OtoDock. Its a…
