A computer for every pal
Why each pal gets a cloud computer of its own, powered by E2B, and what that means for you.
The first thing we decided about Pals was that a pal shouldn't borrow your computer. If it needs your screen, your mouse and your browser, you can't use them while it works, and you can't walk away.
So every pal has a computer of its own.
In the cloud, on E2B
Every pal runs on its own machine in the cloud, built on E2B. Each one is a Linux computer with a real Chrome, kept apart from every other pal.
That means a pal can install whatever it needs, run scripts, download files and keep a browser signed in, all without touching your computer. Close your laptop and its computer carries on.
The Computer tab shows you that machine, live.
A browser you can take over
Each pal has its own Chrome profile, so it stays signed in to the sites you sign it in to. It finds buttons and fields by their text, which works on most sites.
Some steps are for you: a captcha, a code from your phone, a payment. Open the Computer tab, choose Take over, do the step in the live view, and choose Hand back. The pal carries on from where you left it.
Passwords stay out of the model
When a pal signs in with a saved password, Pals types it into the page itself. The password never goes to the model, and never appears in the chat. Signing in asks for your approval by default.
When it really needs your machine
Sometimes a job lives on your own computer, like a video on your Desktop. In the Mac and Windows apps you can give a pal access to your computer. It asks before every command it runs there, and you can turn the access off at any time.
