DispatChai is a private, always-warm Linux residence for your coding agents — so your laptop can finally close, and the work keeps brewing.
FIRST 100 SIP FREE FOR A MONTH · STICKERS INCLUDED, OBVIOUSLY
Modern coding agents are a strange split creature. The brain — the model — lives in a datacenter and always has. Only the hands run at home: a git checkout, a shell, a few tools. And for that, your laptop stays on all night, fans howling, Docker Desktop and PowerShell duct-taped together, hosting… a terminal loop.
Every prompt your agent thinks with is answered in someone's datacenter. That part was never local.
A checkout, a shell, some tools. About 2 vCPU of honest work. It needs a desk, not a workstation.
A €2,000 machine running as a night-shift space heater so a loop can keep looping. It deserves better. So do you.
So we rented the hands a small flat. Laptop closed, agents still working, kitchen table quiet again.
It felt so obviously right that we're making it a product. Not a platform, not a revolution — a residence: the smallest possible cloud home where your agents live, remember, and keep going while you don't.
Under the hood it genuinely is containers and volumes — so everything you already know about images, ports and mounts just works. Docker-like isn't a metaphor here; it's the plumbing.
Compose a residence like a compose file. Start from community recipes — a repo gardener, an inbox butler, a standup scribe — or publish your own. The registry is the point.
No new IDE to learn, no web editor that almost works. Open your residence from the dashboard and your own VS Code opens, connected over Remote-SSH — your files, your extensions, your terminals, all running on the residence instead of your laptop.
We're building a DispatChai extension so you never leave the editor: see every residence in the sidebar, wake a dozing one, and reattach to a running agent — without opening the dashboard at all. Founding members get it first.
Or start empty. Your residence brews in a couple of minutes — agents installed, memory mounted, EU region picked.
Your accounts, your keys, inside your own box. No shared credentials, no inference markup — ever.
Steer from VS Code, browser or phone. The work keeps brewing while your laptop sleeps and your fans finally rest.
Why so light? Because most of the brain was never here. The residence hosts the hands — and hands are cheap. That's the whole trick, and we're not pretending otherwise.
A Pot’s machine, paid for by the hour. For evening builders and weekend shippers who use a residence hard for a few hours and then not at all. Use it most days and The Pot is cheaper — that is the intended answer, not a catch.
The honest minimum for real work: VS Code, Docker and a production build in the same box, all day, every day. Your agent lives here now.
For running several agents at once on a big monorepo — the parallel-agent lifestyle, without any of them stepping on the others' memory.
All pours · EU regions · one residence per subscription · unlimited traffic for coding (20 TB out a month, per residence) · cancel anytime · export your home as a snapshot, it's yours · fair-use CPU · the price you see is the price you pay
14 days to change your mind. The full amount back — write to us and we will sort it. Once per account per year on the no-questions path; after that we still honour it, just not automatically.
Why these numbers. A residence is a real machine in an EU datacenter, and European hosting got more expensive in June 2026 — so we'd rather price it honestly than run a launch promo we have to claw back later. You are paying for the hands, the snapshots and someone keeping the kettle warm. You are never paying an inference markup: the model is your subscription, billed by your vendor, at their price.
One home per subscription. A subscription is one room key, and one key opens one home. A residence holds its disk and its memory on a real machine whether or not you are using it, so a second home is a second machine — we would rather charge for it plainly than pretend it is free. Want more room? Move to a bigger pour: a Cup and a Pot are the same machine, so the question is only whether you use it enough for the flat price to win. Want a genuinely separate home — client work walled off from your own? Take a second subscription. Its own name, its own snapshots, its own bill, and you can cancel either one on its own. Up to three homes on one account; past that, email us and tell us what you're building.
Your second Pot or Samovar is 15% off. So is your third, monthly or annual. Not The Cup: it is already priced at cost plus the hours, and a Cup neither takes a discounted place nor uses one up — so a Cup on the account never changes what your Pots and Samovars cost, whichever order you pour them in. This is a thank-you, not a bulk rate: a second residence costs us exactly what the first one did, and we would rather say that than dress it up. The loyalty price rides on keeping the extra home, so if you come back down to one Pot or Samovar, that one goes back to its list price. Better said here than discovered at renewal.
Your residence is complete on its own. But because DispatChai is brewed by Digital One, three of the suite's grown-up capabilities can be poured straight into your home — individually, or all three as a bundle, for a very fair price. Ask when you join the list.
Live scores for every frontier model — quality, reasoning and speed, probed continuously from 17 regions. Point your agents at whichever model is genuinely best right now, not whichever one was best when you wrote the config.
An inventory of what your agents actually did, risk classification and tamper-evident evidence packs. For the freelancer whose client asks "is this AI governed?" and the team that would rather answer that in minutes than in a panic.
The org mind: everything you've taught, decided and figured out, recalled by every agent in every session — instead of re-explaining your own project to a fresh context window every morning.
Side-projects on a four-year-old laptop and a phone. Wants agents grinding overnight without fan noise, dead batteries or "sorry, my machine was off". The residence is the upgrade the laptop never needed to be.
Lives in Kubernetes and Terraform all day, in a stack that never leaves the EU. Wants a personal, disposable, well-behaved machine that is not the company VPC — for experiments, agents and after-hours ideas. Knows exactly why containers, snapshots and a European jurisdiction are the right answer, and would rather not make an exception for a side project.
your personal agents — with your mail, your repos, your keys — shouldn't live inside the model vendor's house. The brain can be theirs. The home should be yours.
THE QUIET PART — WHAT'S UNDER THE FOAM
DispatChai runs on the same guarded infrastructure its parent, Digital One, operates for European
enterprises: EU-owned clouds, signed machine images, egress firewalls, evidence logs. You get all of
it without ever thinking about it — it's simply how the house is built.
Waitlist opens at dispatchai.cloud. We keep building it for ourselves, in public.
First pours: 100 residences, EU regions, all three pours. Founding members shape the recipes.
Recipe registry beta — browse, fork and publish community residences.
Mobile console, shared team houses, and whatever the first hundred of you demand loudest.
Tell us what you'd brew and which agents you run — we'll save you a residence for the first pours in October, and founding members get to shape the recipe registry.
