Use cases
Updated 27 October 2026
Ortam gives a coding agent a machine it keeps. Each Sandbox is a Linux VM whose whole disk is saved while the agent works.
Software factories
A software factory assigns tasks to coding agents, checks their changes and opens pull requests. Machines for a software factory covers what a factory needs from its machines, what Ortam runs, what the factory keeps, and how a task moves through it.
Background coding agents
Background agents work on your own repositories while no one watches. Each starts on its own machine from a ready copy of the repository. Background coding agents covers parallel tasks, long runs that outlive the service assigning them, and what an idle agent costs.
Coding agents for your customers
Agencies, agent products and app builders give each customer an agent and a machine. The customer needs no Ortam account. Coding agents for your customers covers keeping customers apart, their own AI accounts, and terminal access.
