Codewire gives every AI coding agent its own dedicated cloud environment. Launch Claude Code, Codex, or any tool on isolated machines — and run them in parallel. No shared kernels. No noisy neighbors. Each workspace gets a Xen-isolated VM with its own dedicated resources.

Key concepts

Organizations

Group your team, resources, and billing together. Each organization has its own members, roles (owner, admin, member), and resource inventory.

Resources

Dedicated cloud machines within an organization. Coder deployments get their own database, namespace, TLS certificate, and domain at your-name.codewire.sh. Codewire Relays provide connectivity for distributed AI agents.

Workspaces

Isolated dev environments where AI agents run. Each workspace is a VM with your tools, code, and full root access — created from templates or launched directly from a repo URL.

How it works

From the web

  1. Sign up with an invite code and set up 2FA
  2. Create an organization and follow the setup checklist
  3. Add a resource — pick a type (Coder or Codewire Relay), choose a plan, and Codewire provisions everything
  4. Launch a workspace — use the AI-powered launcher to analyze a repo and spin up an environment
  5. Connect — open a terminal, VS Code, or SSH into your workspace

From the CLI

brew install codewiresh/codewire/codewire
cw setup                                    # interactive wizard: login, org, resource, GitHub
cw launch github.com/your-org/your-repo     # AI detects stack, creates workspace
cw run -- claude "fix the tests"            # run an agent in a persistent session
