# Pine Computer
> A cloud computer with AI built in. Hand it a job, and get the finished work back.
Pine Computer is a cloud computer built for AI, made by Pine AI. Developers give it a job through an API; it works across a browser, a shell and files, a person can watch it and take the controls, and the finished work comes back. It is in private beta.
Pine Computer (pinecomputer.io) is unrelated to PINE64 and its single-board computers. On X it is @pine_computer (https://x.com/pine_computer). It is invite-only while in beta.
What it does:
- A cloud computer for AI agents, made on demand through an API
- A browser, a shell and files on each computer
- Pine's built-in agent, or your own agent through the SDK
- A live view in your product, where a person can watch and take the controls
- Sign-ins saved per computer, so it stays signed in between jobs
- As many computers as the work needs, side by side
- Runs from the region the job needs
- Each computer sealed off on its own; your keys stay on your server
