General

Codewire provides cloud machines for AI coding agents. Every agent gets its own dedicated, Xen-isolated environment with full root access. Launch Claude Code, Codex, or any tool on isolated machines — and run them in parallel.
Any tool that runs in a terminal or dev environment: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, and more. Codewire workspaces are full Linux VMs — if it runs on Linux, it runs on Codewire.
Each workspace runs on a Xen hypervisor with its own dedicated kernel. Unlike container-based solutions that share a kernel, Codewire workspaces have full hardware-level isolation. No shared resources, no noisy neighbors.
Isolation and AI agent support are the main differences. Codespaces uses shared-kernel containers — Codewire uses Xen VMs with dedicated kernels per workspace. Codewire is built for running AI agents in parallel with orchestration primitives (sessions, tags, wait, messaging). Codespaces is designed for single-user interactive development.
Yes. The CLI has two operating modes: Standalone for local sessions, relay, and orchestration — no Codewire account needed. Platform mode integrates with codewire.sh for workspace management, org commands, and remote access.
No. Codewire handles all infrastructure — Kubernetes, databases, TLS certificates, and DNS — automatically. You just create a resource and start using it.
Typically 2-5 minutes for Coder resources. Under a minute for Codewire Relays. You can watch progress in real time on the resource detail page.

Accounts

Codewire is in private beta. Invite codes are distributed by existing users or the Codewire team. Contact hello@codewire.sh if you’d like early access.
Check your spam/junk folder. You can resend the verification email from the login page. Make sure you entered the correct email during signup.
Go to the login page, click Forgot password?, and enter your email. You’ll receive a link to set a new password.
Account deletion has a 30-day grace period. During that time you can cancel. After 30 days, all your resources, workspaces, subscriptions, and data are permanently deleted.

Organizations

Navigate to the dashboard and click New Organization. Enter a name and slug, then click Create.
Yes. You can be a member of multiple organizations with different roles in each.
There is no limit on organization members. Seat pricing is $18 per developer per month. AI agents don’t count as seats.
Not self-service currently. Contact hello@codewire.sh for ownership transfers.

Resources

No. The subdomain is permanent. If you need a different subdomain, delete the resource and create a new one.
Check the provision timeline on the resource detail page for error details. In most cases, clicking Retry Provisioning resolves the issue. If it continues to fail, contact hello@codewire.sh with the event details.
Yes. You can create as many resources as needed within an organization. Each resource is fully independent with its own infrastructure and settings.
When a new Coder version is available, an Upgrade action appears on your resource detail page. Click it to update — your workspaces and data are preserved.
A relay service for AI agent connectivity, provisioned as a resource within your organization. It includes message routing and an authentication token. Connect your CLI nodes to it for remote access and cross-node coordination.
A recovery tool that rebuilds the Coder deployment for a stuck resource while preserving all data (workspaces, templates, users, database). Use it when a resource shows Running but the Coder dashboard is inaccessible.

Billing

Your resource is suspended (scaled to zero). Add a payment method and subscribe to resume. Your data is preserved.
Each resource in your organization has its own subscription and plan. Coder resources have Starter, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans. Codewire Relays use the Relay plan at $5/month. All Coder plans include a 14-day free trial.
Usage is tracked in 5-minute intervals and aggregated monthly. Overages are billed at: CPU 0.03/corehour,Memory0.03/core-hour, Memory 0.01/GB-hour, Disk $0.05/GB-hour.
No. Seat pricing ($18/developer/month) is for human developers only. You can run as many AI agents as your resource plan supports.

Workspaces

Two ways: use the Launch feature in the Codewire sidebar to create a workspace from a repo URL with AI-powered detection, or open your Coder dashboard via the Open Coder button and create workspaces from templates.
Persistent volumes are preserved when a workspace is stopped. Only compute resources (CPU, memory) are released. Your files remain intact.

Security

Codewire supports TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) via authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password. 10 backup codes are provided as a fallback. 2FA is mandatory — it’s set up during onboarding.
Go to Settings → Sessions and revoke the session for that device. You can also click Revoke All Other Sessions to sign out everywhere except your current device.
