Show HN: One-click AI employee with its own cloud desktop

CloudBot gives you a fully configured AI employee with its own cloud computer in one click. Built on OpenClaw.

What you get: - Full Ubuntu desktop environment in the cloud - Pre-installed AI agent that sees the screen and controls the computer - 24/7 availability - your AI keeps working while you sleep - Uses your own API keys for AI models - Starting at $69/month

The AI can use VS Code, browse the web, run terminal commands, manage files - anything you'd do on a real desktop. I wake up to completed code reviews, finished research reports, and updated documentation.

Built this because setting up an AI agent with a proper working environment was always the painful part. Now it's just one click.

Interesting business model.

I have two questions:

1) Who do you see as primary competitors in this niche?

2) What is your model for managing liability in a situation where a naive, less technical (or plain lazy) customer lets one of these run a business without sufficiently verifying output? Your definition of due diligence may differ from theirs.

Boy this sounds like the equivalent of Nightmare in Elm Street but for developers and instead of waking up to freddy you wake up to thousands of code reviews made by this thing.

It looks like you're optimizing for meme value.

I can understand why you want an AI to use a desktop. But it's still absurd to use the least efficient interface possible for interactions with the outer world.

Having said that, fun project, good luck :) I am sure quite a few people would want to try it.

Feedback:

I’m not paying $70/mo to try this but there’s a price that I would that’s above free, maybe $5/mo and I’ll bring my claude/oai API key

If you had a one time “local” setup fee with deepseek/llama or whatever instead of the services, I’d probably pay more than $70
