box by Simular and Orgo side by side: the computer each gives your agent, how agents connect, what stays signed in, and what it costs.

Why your agents need a computer

Offload

Offload long tasks

Hand a long task to the box: your agent works on the box’s desktop while your own computer stays free.

Hand off

Agents that work together

Claude starts the job and ChatGPT picks it up. Files, logins and apps stay put when you switch.

Signed in

Logins already inside the box

Sites you’ve signed in to stay signed in on the box, ready for any agent you bring in. Logins stay in Chrome on the box.

Full stack

Control of the whole computer

Desktop apps, browsers, files, terminal and downloads, not just a browser tab.

Use cases

From your terminal

Any coding agent can use a computer now

Who: Users of DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code and other coding agents
The ask: “Open my staging site in Chrome, sign up as a new user and tell me what breaks.”
What box does: With the box plugin added, DeepSeek Harness opens Chrome on the box, signs up with a test email and screenshots each failed step. DeepSeek Harness’s own computer use is experimental and runs on your machine; box gives it a separate cloud desktop.
The result: A list of broken steps with screenshots, from a real browser.

Running several agents

Multiple agents, one shared cloud desktop

Who: People running several agents a day across Claude, ChatGPT and more
The ask: “ChatGPT, put this week’s competitor prices into the sheet I left open. Claude, write the summary from that sheet.”
What box does: Both agents connect to the same box. The sheet, files and logins stay there, so each picks up the other’s work.
The result: One sheet and one summary, with no copy and paste between apps.

From your chat

Switch AI, keep your logins

Who: Claude or ChatGPT subscribers who mostly chat
The ask: “ChatGPT, use my box: check last month’s orders on the shopping sites I signed in with Claude, and tell me which haven’t shipped.”
What box does: ChatGPT opens Chrome on the box, where you signed in once while using Claude. Same browser, same logins, so nothing needs setting up again. You take control if a site asks for a code.
The result: A list of late orders back in your chat, with no new sign-ins after switching AI.

What box by Simular gives you

Built on computer-use research. box takes the most direct route first, uses screenshots only as a last resort, runs several steps in one call and replays saved tasks without model calls. Faster, cheaper, reliable computer use. Read the research.
Watch or take over. Live view at any time. Step in to sign in. box’s own agent never enters payment details; it hands that step to you, and agents you connect are told to do the same.
One box for every agent. All your agents share the same box and pick up each other’s work. Your own AI keeps using its own plan. Credits pay for the Free box’s time, extra boxes, residential IP and box’s own model calls: 5,000 once on the Free tier (valid 90 days), and 5,000 or 10,000 a month on Small and Medium tiers.
