Self hosting is inevitably a part of our roadmap. Cyberdesk will have a future where we host our entire agentic framework on your own servers. AI models and the whole backend included.
I can totally see myself having the same preferences as you if I were you with regards to cost, privacy, and control.
The unique value in Cyberdesk lies beyond being a wrapper around a computer use AI model. Our intelligence caching is built on large evals that help us produce prompts that are highly reliable for the intelligent caching to work well in the first place. On top of that there are several tools that allow the agent to be useful (import/export files, failsafes, taking actions using data that was read during the same run). Rebuilding Cyberdesk, while possible, will require several weeks at the very least of very rapid iteration. So for a dev team that wants to build the best computer use agent in the world, I guess that's doable. But for a team trying to be the best "X" in their particular industry, it's probably going to be a time sink that will take away from their ability to compete well in their space, hence why Cyberdesk is a great choice for them.
I hope you keep an eye on what we're doing! I really like your insights here and I'm curious to see what you think as we evolve over the next months and years. Maybe when we do full self hosting you'll be a customer :)
