Runners — your infrastructure, or ours
A task runs on a runner you choose. There are two kinds, not three: self-hosted (a machine you keep, or an AWS account you enroll) and Uai Cloud (ours). The isolation floor does not move — each task gets a throwaway environment and a fresh worktree. What changes is whose infrastructure it is, and who holds the secrets.
- Self-hosted covers both paths in one enrollment flow. The command is one-time, valid for about sixty minutes, and nothing installs where you run it. Point it at this machine, or at your AWS account with a region and machine size you pick — each task then gets its own ephemeral machine in your account, and AWS bills you directly.
- Uai Cloud runs the same model on infrastructure we operate: a fresh ephemeral machine per task, billed per hour against a prepaid balance. On this path, secret custody sits with us; that is the trade, stated rather than papered over.
Hosts became Runners. Orgs became Workspaces.
The nouns caught up with the product. What used to be a Host is a Runner — the orchestrator that takes tasks, whether it sits on infrastructure you control (a laptop, or your own AWS account) or on ours. Organizations are Workspaces. Older entries on this page keep the words they shipped under.
