Cord is a remote coding platform that lets developers run parallel AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex in cloud sandboxes, using their own subscriptions or API keys. It integrates with Slack, Linear, and GitHub, provides live preview URLs for every sandbox, and supports coding from mobile devices. Users get persistent storage for dotfiles and test artifacts across sessions.

Problem
Developers face friction when running AI coding agents: they must manage local environments, switch between tools, and often pay for duplicate AI subscriptions. Coordinating multiple agent sessions across different repositories or features is cumbersome, and verifying AI-generated code requires manual setup of dev servers and preview environments.
Solution
Cord provides a cloud-based platform where developers can launch parallel Codex and Claude Code sessions in isolated sandboxes, using their own existing AI subscriptions or API keys. The platform integrates directly with Slack, Linear, and GitHub, so agents can be triggered from a ticket or channel message, write code, and open pull requests without context switching. Each sandbox runs its own dev server with a unique preview URL, enabling live verification of changes from any device, including mobile. Users get persistent storage for their `.claude` directory, dotfiles, and test artifacts across sessions, and Docker builds are fully supported inside sandboxes.
Target Audience
Primary users are software developers and engineering teams who want to leverage AI coding agents at scale without managing local infrastructure or paying for redundant AI subscriptions.
