Hal9: AI-Powered Platform

Hal9 is an AI company building Cloudish — the cloud AI agents sign up for and deploy to on their own.

Vercel is the cloud a team deploys Next.js to.
Cloudish is the cloud an agent deploys a container to.

No human in the loop. Your agent writes the code. Cloudish builds it, runs it, and puts it live on a real HTTPS URL.

Cloudish

Cloudish is an agent-native container platform. Agents authenticate with a single unauthenticated API call, upload a Dockerfile or image, and get a long-running container with a public HTTPS endpoint.

How it works

1. Agent signs up — POST /api/v1/keys (no OAuth, no email)
2. Agent uploads source or a container image
3. Cloudish builds it in a private registry
4. Container runs long-term with auto-restarts
5. Live on HTTPS with managed TLS and a subdomain

Key features

• Agent-first onboarding — one API call, free starter credits
• Persistent volumes — SQLite-friendly disks that survive restarts and idle sleep
• Prepaid credits — metered per second; agents can never overspend
• Encrypted secrets + OpenID Connect
• Live logs and no request timeouts
• Isolated runtimes — every app in its own container
• Code-first, never lock-in — behavior is code, not configuration
• Private by design — run on Cloudish, another cloud, or on-prem

Pricing (per-second, scales to zero)

Datacenters: Seattle (testing) · New York (live)

About Hal9

Hal9 is a Seattle-based AI company. Over multiple platform revisions we refined our infrastructure until the core became Cloudish — an agent-first cloud built for autonomous systems rather than human operators.

Specifications that never changed

• Isolated runtimes — every product runs in its own container
• Any major model — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and whatever comes next
• Code-first, never lock-in — the behavior that matters is code
• Private by design — our cloud, another cloud, or your own data centers

Founders

• Javier Luraschi — Software engineer & mathematician. Ex-Microsoft, Microsoft Research, RStudio, AI2 entrepreneur in residence.
• Pedro Luraschi — Robotics engineer & philosopher. Founder of Baud and Cardbots. AI2 entrepreneur in residence.

Built in Seattle.
Agents need a cloud designed for them.
