I think that your product is amazing. It’s one of the tools I use the most in my job and it really makes my life simpler when doing definitions.
Your product codebase running in the cloud, no developer configuration required. Prompt your idea, share a link for feedback, and push to GitHub.
Connect your codebase, prompt, and open a pull request in a few quick steps

Product Manager, Fanvue
You guys have built something that’s actually fundamentally very useful. If Alloy disappeared today, I’d be like, ah, what do I use now?
Product Lead, Shepherd
Alloy is probably the one I use most, especially if I’m talking to users and showing them a prototype. It’s just easier for them to understand when it actually looks like our product.
Backend Developer
I’m able to just ship things on my own without talking to anybody — I just use Alloy to do the design. It just fits in my workflow of just shipping things.
Product Designer, Disqus
Almost every day I’m using Alloy. My PMs also like it a lot, receiving the Alloy prototype to review and send some feedback.
VP Product
I really like the Alloy app. I’ve already bought it at two companies.
Cursor’s cloud agents and Devin delegate coding tasks to remote environments for engineers, and Claude Code runs in your terminal. Alloy is the cloud agents platform built for product teams — live previews, shareable sessions, and pull requests, all from your browser.
| Capability | Cursor | Devin | Claude Code | Alloy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Engineers delegating coding tasks from the IDE, web, or Slack | Engineering teams delegating coding tasks | Developers working in the terminal | Product teams — PMs, designers, and engineers together |
| No local setup | Runs in the cloud, but you configure the agent environment yourself | Runs in the cloud, but environment setup is a developer task | Needs a working local development environment | The cloud agent configures and boots your codebase automatically |
| Live preview you can click through | Returns code diffs to review — no clickable preview of your app | Browser view inside its own workspace | No built-in preview of your running app | Every session includes a live preview of your real product |
| Share sessions with a link | Agent runs live in your Cursor dashboard, not a link anyone can open | Sessions visible to teammates inside Devin | Output lives in your terminal and git branches | Anyone can open a session link and click through the preview |
| From idea to pull request | Yes — cloud agents open pull requests on GitHub | Yes, through its delegation workflow | Yes, via git and the GitHub CLI | Yes — open a pull request straight from your session |
A cloud agent is an AI agent that runs in the cloud instead of on your machine. It gets its own development environment with access to your code, so it can make changes, run your app, and show you the result from any browser. Alloy is a cloud agent built for product teams: it connects to your GitHub repository, runs your codebase in an isolated cloud workspace, and turns ideas into pull requests your team can review.
Connect GitHub, pick a repository, and Alloy sets up a cloud workspace that can run your app. From there, every session starts from your codebase: describe a change in chat, the cloud agent applies it, and you check the result in a live preview of your actual product. When it looks right, push the code and open a pull request — all without leaving your browser.
A local coding agent runs on your machine, inside your editor or terminal, and depends on your local environment — work stops when your laptop closes, and results are hard to share. A cloud agent runs remotely: there is nothing to install, sessions keep running independently of your machine, and every session is a link you can share. Local agents suit engineers deep in their own setup; cloud agents suit teams that want to collaborate on changes.
In Alloy, yes — codebase sessions are how you work with the cloud agent. Instead of starting from a page capture, a codebase session starts directly from your repository, with the cloud agent running your real code. You get the full Alloy platform — AI chat, live previews, share links, comments — plus a pull request at the end.
No. When you connect a repository, Alloy inspects it, works out how to run your app in the cloud, and opens a pull request with the small configuration files it needs. After that one-time setup, every cloud agent session boots your codebase automatically — no local installs, no dependency management, no environment drift.
Yes. That is the whole point of Alloy's cloud agents: when a change looks right in the live preview, you push the code and open a pull request directly from the session. Your team reviews it in GitHub like any other change, with the full session available for context.
Yes. Every session includes a live preview of your app running in the cloud, so you see each change in your real product rather than a mockup. You can click around the preview, ask for adjustments in chat, and share the link with teammates for feedback before anything is merged.
Anyone who wants to go from idea to a reviewable change without setting up a development environment. Product managers and designers use cloud agents to propose real changes as pull requests, and engineers use them to explore ideas quickly and review the resulting code through their normal GitHub workflow.
No. You describe the change you want in plain language and the cloud agent writes the code, while the live preview shows the result in your actual product. Engineers can inspect every line in the pull request, so the people who know the codebase stay in control of what ships.
Yes, you can start using cloud agents in Alloy for free — connect GitHub, start sessions, and share previews without a credit card. Paid plans add higher limits and team features; see the pricing page for what each plan includes.
