Always-onDocumentation
Your agent's
computer.
An always-on workstation for your AI agent. Runs overnight. Keeps working while your laptop sleeps. Coordinates a team of agents in parallel.
Authentication
Core Concepts
- The Sovereign ModelHow ellul keeps the cryptographic authority over your data on your machine, not on ours.
- Security TiersStandard, Web Locked, and Private Locked. What each tier guarantees and when to use it.
- SandboxesEach project on your workstation runs in a kernel-isolated sandbox. What that means in practice.
- The AgentHow chat threads and CLI sessions interact with your isolated sandbox.
Deployment
Getting Started
Lifecycle
- Volume EncryptionHow your storage volume is encrypted, who holds the keys, and what changes between tiers.
- Regions and Data ResidencyWhere your workstation runs and the boundaries we respect.
- BackupsHow your data is preserved and how to restore from a backup.
- SSH AccessDirect shell access to your workstation on the Pro plan.
Sandboxes
- Working in a SandboxDay-to-day flow inside a sandbox: chat, code, preview, database, secrets, context.
- Cross-Sandbox SharingGranting one sandbox read access to another's source code, with isolation preserved.
- Secrets and EnvironmentStoring API keys and credentials safely so the agent can use them only with explicit approval.
