Cloud & autonomous agentsTicket-in, PR-out workers running outside your editor.
Cloud agents run in a vendor-hosted sandbox rather than on your machine. You hand them a task — an issue, a ticket, a prompt — and they return a pull request or a deployed change for human review.

What is an autonomous cloud coding agent?
An agent that runs in a hosted sandbox, takes a task in, and produces a pull request or change out, with a human reviewing the result. Devin is the reference example in the catalog.
How much do cloud coding agents cost?
Pricing in the seed ranges from beta/free (Jules, at the time of the seed) to enterprise contracts (Factory) and per-seat plans often cited at $500+/month (Devin). All values are approximate — verify on the vendor's pricing page.
Cloud agent vs CLI agent — which should I use?
Use a CLI agent when you want the agent next to you in a local checkout. Use a cloud agent when you want to delegate whole tasks and review the PR later.
