Retrying checkout can create two orders. Reproduce it, fix the cause, and add a regression test.
Remote workspaces for coding agents
Give your agent
a computer.
Barad runs your coding agent in a remote Linux workspace, with root access and a browser. Leave a task running and check back from your laptop or phone.

The server now reuses the original order for a repeated checkout key. The regression test sends two requests and verifies that only one order exists.

01 / How it works
Set up your first session.
Choose your repositories
Connect GitHub and clone multiple repositories into a workspace, or start with an empty directory. Git credentials are limited to the repositories you select.
Give the agent a task
Describe the change you want and how to check it. You can attach screenshots or ask for a test that reproduces a bug.
Run the code
The agent can install dependencies and run your project. It has a terminal and a browser for testing changes and taking screenshots.
Check the changes
Read the conversation, inspect diffs in Review, or open the terminal yourself. Your files and conversation are still there when you return.

Workspace and model costs
Workspace compute
$0.20 / hour
You pay for each started minute the workspace is awake, including idle time until it sleeps. Sleeping workspaces are free.
$10 in early-adopter credits covers 50 hours of workspace compute at this rate. Applicable tax is added when you buy credits.
Model usage
- Claude subscription
- ChatGPT subscription
- Grok subscription
- OpenAI API key
- xAI API key
Connect one in Settings, then choose a model for the session. Your provider sets subscription fees, usage limits and any API or extra-usage charges. Barad credits do not pay for inference.
03 / FAQ
Workspace details
What happens when a workspace sleeps?
Your files, installed packages and conversation are saved. Running processes stop. Wake the workspace to continue, then restart any servers or other programs you need.
Can I use my Claude subscription?
Yes. Add a Claude subscription in Settings → Providers and complete Anthropic’s official sign-in. New Claude sessions default to Opus 5.5. Model access depends on your plan. Fable may bill usage credits without another confirmation.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open Barad in your browser. Dependencies and builds run in the remote workspace.
Can I use the terminal myself?
Yes. Open the Terminal tab to run commands in the same workspace as the agent.
Can I share a preview?
Ask the agent to publish a static file or directory. Choose a public link or keep it private to your account. Published files stay available while the workspace sleeps.
