Your agent, always ready

Everything your agent needs, made local.

Assemble compute, storage, GPUs, routes, and secrets from wherever they live. Keep your agent running 24/7.

Product surface

Assemble local parts, see what is running, and connect from one place.

01 · Persistence

A home, not another session.

Your agent keeps its identity, disk, network path, and uptime when your laptop disconnects. Asterism keeps those parts assembled and ready.

Close the laptop

The instance keeps running on the machine under your desk. Your local terminal is only a way in.

18d 04h

Return to the same workspace

Repositories, toolchains, processes, and snapshots remain where the agent left them.

Persistent

Keep it contained

A real VM has its own kernel and disk. It does not need your laptop’s home directory to be its home.

Isolated

02 · Create

Assemble the parts your agent needs.

Choose a cloud image or OCI image, allocate compute and storage, then review the result. The same instance stays visible in the operational view after creation.

03 · Connect

Connect and see the route.

Open a terminal, copy the exact ast ssh command, or inspect console and logs. The sheet shows the current route and reachability before you connect.

No invented port forwarding. The interface reserves a clear place for future service connections without pretending they ship today.

04 · Native companion

Present when needed. Gone when not.

The tiny native menu bar app is the glanceable surface: what is running, whether the orbit is healthy, and one click to SSH. The full app opens only for creation, placement, and deeper control.

05 · The model

One layer down: parts, devices, orbit.

A device contributes parts. An orbit is the trusted pool of those devices. An instance keeps the durable identity assembled from those parts, without a special source device. CPU, root disk, and remote block volumes work today; GPU and custom egress remain planned.

Device

Supplies a part.

Today: CPU and memory, root disk, and remote block volumes. GPU and custom network exit are planned extensions.

Orbit

Defines trust.

Your devices pair into one private pool, with a direct path when possible and explicit status when it is not.

Instance

Keeps the identity.

Move or replace a source device and the instance keeps the same name, disk, and connection for you and the agent.
