Hey PH! 👋
This started on a flight from Honolulu to Las Vegas — Record of Ragnarok on screen, Spam Musubi in hand, headphones on.
It's an anime — the gods put humanity on trial and decide to wipe us out. And then Buddha, a god worshipped by billions, walks over to the human side and says: I'll fight for them.
I paused the episode and kept thinking: this is exactly what's happening with AI right now. The question isn't whether AI gets powerful. It's whether the people building it stand with humans or against them.
That's where the name Buda came from.
Then we actually tried to run our company on AI agents — OpenClaw teams spread across 8 Linux machines, 2 Mac Minis, and 30+ chat channels. It worked well enough that 90%+ of our internal jobs could be handled by agents.
Two weeks in, 40% of our teammates didn't know what to put on their weekly update. The agents had quietly taken their to-do lists.
That wasn't a failure. It was a promotion. They stopped doing the work — and started managing the agents who did. Support, ops, design: all became AI managers overnight.
But the infrastructure was chaos. So we rebuilt it.
Buda is an AI agent company platform:
🦞 Claw Computer — Kubernetes-based cluster. Agents run in isolated, long-running sandboxes with high-performance SSD volumes. No Mac Mini, no gateway. Auto-sleep when idle — saves 80%+ compute and 30%+ token costs.
🐰 Buda Organizer — schedules work, coordinates agents, runs daily automations across your whole team.
👁️ Watch Them Work — live Drive, Terminal, and Browser for every agent. No black box.
🗄️ Buda Drive — Trash, version history, delete protection, auto-backup, and sync. Three layers of data safety, built in.
👥 Teams & Collaboration — invite members, share agents, coordinate humans and AI in one workspace. Self-hosted option available.
⚡ No setup — no config, no model keys, no installation. Don't build. Just hire and go.
🛒 Marketplace — recruit or sell Skills, Agents, and Teams in one click. Publish public or private GitHub repos and monetize them directly.
We believe AI should make humans more powerful, not replace them. That's why we named it Buda.
People killin', people dyin', dropping bombs — we've got enough of that.
Buda, buda, buda — help us. To the moon, not the battlefield. 🐰
Every Claw we ship has one system prompt: Protect Human. Push humanity forward.
What's your first job for 🐰 Buda and her 🦞 Agents?
Hey Kelly! It's really impressive. 100 agents really change this game. How is the business model? Is there a trial?
the "40% of teammates didn't know what to put in their weekly update" line is sending me 😂 . congrats.
Hey PH! 👋
If Kelly’s intro got you curious about Buda, here are two things you’ll probably notice pretty quickly once you start using it — both a bit different from most agent platforms (including tools like OpenClaw).
1️⃣ Multiple agents in one workspace,
Inside a workspace you can create multiple specialized agents, for example a Full-Stack Engineer or an SEO Specialist. Your teammates can share and collaborate with the same agents in one place.
And when you want to expand the team, Buda includes a built-in Marketplace. You can recruit ready-made Agents, install useful Skills with one click, or add entire Teams (bundles of multiple agents) created by others.
2️⃣ No model setup — latest models ready to use
You don’t need to configure API keys or model providers.
Buda automatically gives agents access to the latest models from multiple providers, so they can pick the best one for the job — Claude, Gemini, GPT, and others.
For example, in the screenshot below the agent is generating an image using Nano Banana 2 — no setup required, just ask and it runs.
🎁 Product Hunt Special
We’ve added a PH promo code on the launch page if you’d like to try Buda with extra credits.
We also made a quick 2-minute tutorial showing how to redeem it:
As a designer, the thing I care about most is whether agents can fit into a real creative workflow, not just answer questions in a chat box.
I’ve been using Discord + OpenClaw for image generation, video edits, and content production. It works, but managing everything gets messy fast. Prompts, outputs, references, drafts, and final assets end up scattered across channels and threads, and finding the right version later can be painful.
That is why the Drive part of Buda feels useful to me. Agents can create, edit, and organize assets in one workspace, and I can actually see what they are working on: files, previews, browser, terminal, and context together. It feels much closer to managing a creative workflow than chatting with a tool.
For me, the biggest change is simple: agent work finally feels easier to see, reuse, and manage.
Congrats on the launch. Curious to see how other designers and creative teams use this.
