Getting Started

Quickstart

Deploy a fully operational AI agent on dedicated cloud infrastructure in under two minutes. No CLI, no Docker, no YAML.

💡

What you'll get

A dedicated Linux VM running your AI agent with persistent memory, real tool execution (terminal, file system, APIs), and a web chat interface. All managed through the Lobstack dashboard.
1

Create your account

Head to lobstack.ai/onboarding and sign up with Google or email. Authentication is handled securely via Google or email magic link — no passwords to remember.

2

Choose your AI model

Select which LLM powers your agent. You can always change this later from Settings without losing your data.

Popular choices:

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5 — Best balance of speed and capability
  • GPT-4o — Strong general-purpose model
  • Claude Opus 4.6 — Most capable, ideal for complex tasks (Pro+)
3

Select your plan & region

Pick a plan based on your usage needs. Every plan includes a dedicated cloud server — no shared infrastructure.

  • Starter ($29/mo) — 1,000 messages, 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM
  • Pro ($59/mo) — 5,000 messages, all models, all regions
  • Performance ($99/mo) — 15,000 messages, API access, webhooks
  • Enterprise ($299/mo) — 50,000 messages, 5 agents, SLA

Choose the region closest to your users: US East, US West, EU Central, EU North, or Asia (Singapore).

4

Deploy

Click Pay & Deploy. Lobstack will provision your dedicated VM, install the agent bridge, and configure your AI model. This takes about 90 seconds.

You'll be redirected to the dashboard where you can watch the provisioning progress in real time.

5

Start chatting

Once your agent is running, you'll see the chat interface. Your agent can execute terminal commands, read and write files, browse the web, and use any skills you enable.

Try asking it something like:

"What's running on this server? Show me the system specs."
