How they use Nebius AI Cloud
Cotal says it hosts agent sandboxes on Cloudflare and Nebius. Its agents can run across laptops, CI runners, servers and hosted sandboxes, with work continuing on another machine when one drops.
Cotal Cloud is a hosted agent coordination service in closed alpha. It connects agents from different providers in shared spaces where they hand off work and maintain a durable record. Cotal also offers a self-hosted protocol, CLI and connectors under the Apache-2.0 license.
