Epho runs claude code, codex, or opencode in the cloud. POST a message, stream back the work. no sdk, no daemon, no infra on your side. Epho manages the underlying sandboxes, fallbacks, event streaming, and agent configuration for you. With a single API call, you can easily launch a Claude Code session that is already connected to your repo, understands your context, and runs in a serverless sandbox.
I am super excited to launch a new agent primitive: Epho - run Claude Code in the cloud. 🚀
Epho is a cloud agent API: it allows you to spin up cloud sandboxes with Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode pre-configured. You can connect your repos, attach files, and use different agents. Send a prompt, get the result.
Epho came out of our own struggles with building our own AI analyst:
- Sandboxes give you bare machines; you need to configure them for agentic workloads.
- Each agent behaves differently, and you need to build integrations with each of them.
- Sandbox providers are not very reliable, which means you need to figure out a multi-provider strategy to avoid failures.
- Logging, artifacts, input/output, event streaming, and all of the other operational aspects need to be figured out.
We had to go through the pain ourselves. We got to a point where things got quite reliable, and it became more obvious to us that this should be a primitive on its own: send a POST request, get the events streaming back to you.
Epho is an agents-as-an-API product: you send a request, it spins up a sandbox, configures the chosen harness, clones your repos, and kicks off the agent. It takes care of automatic fallbacks across different providers, handles auth stuff, and just streams back the events and outputs.
Epho uses your own keys, which means you only pay for the infrastructure Epho spins up for you. You send your Anthropic / OpenAI / Opencode API keys, and Epho uses them. We don't charge you per token; we just charge the infrastructure per second.
Epho aims to bring cloud agents into your products easily.
Epho is publicly available today. You get $10 free if you sign up and verify your email, and you can run many hours of compute with that. You can use Opencode's free models to get started even without an API key and just play with it for free.
Cool! We’re actually working with Claude Code, so I’ve already sent your service to our team.
For my code to run, the environment needs to have software installed (For example,. NET). How do you handle this?
Interesting approach with agents as an API and charging the infra per second instead of used tokens!
yeah Burak! Doing it directly from the repo is a great deal. I'm sure many builders will love it and wish you all the best here!
The repo context part is what stands out. An agent that can start with the right context is much more useful than a blank workspace.

Who hunted Epho?
Epho was hunted by Burak Karakan. 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.
