Cyberdesk is an open source API for building computer agents that control full virtual desktops. Easily start, scale, and send actions to cloud desktops — perfect for building AI employees, desktop extraction workflows, and more.
We built Cyberdesk to make it dead simple to build and scale computer agents — ones that can actually use real apps on a desktop, just like a human.
This started because we were building AI agents ourselves and realized how painful it is to manage VMs and remote actions for computer use agents. So we built the API we wished existed — and open sourced it.
Cyberdesk lets you spin up full cloud desktops and control them through a clean developer API. Clicks, typing, scrolling — all as simple function calls.

Who hunted Cyberdesk?
Cyberdesk was hunted by Alan Duong. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
