Product introduction: AgentBay, the Agent Development Kit, is Alibaba Cloud's infrastructure service designed for the AI Agent era. It provides enterprises, developers, and AI vendors with one-click configurable execution tools and runtime environments for AI Agents. AgentBay integrates core capabilities such as cloud-based sandboxing, compute scheduling, persistent data storage, and enterprise-grade security. It covers four primary runtime environments: Browsers, Cloud Computers, Code Spaces, and Cloud Phones. With support for both SDK and MCP integration, AgentBay can be connected with as few as three lines of code, enabling elastic scaling in seconds and support for thousands of concurrent operations. It is widely applicable in use cases such as in-depth research, financial analysis, cross-border e-commerce, medical diagnostics, and education. Target customers: 1. Enterprises needing to build general-purpose AI Agents or develop automated workflows. 2. Companies looking to upgrade their processes with AI-driven intelligence. 3. Organizations planning to build their own proprietary AI Agent development platforms. 4. Design teams in UI/UX and digital creative fields requiring AI-powered assistance tools. 5. Software development and engineering teams pursuing highly efficient, intelligent development experiences. 6. Device manufacturers developing smart terminal applications that require cloud-side collaboration for complex AI tasks. 7. Enterprises in finance, manufacturing, government, healthcare, and energy sectors aiming to drive the intelligent transformation of their business processes. Released features: Intelligent sandbox environments: Includes four core environments—Browser, Cloud Computer, Code Space, and Cloud Phone—with support for switching between multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Android. It enables global deployment and multi-region access, provides enterprise-grade security isolation and permission controls, and delivers elastic scaling in seconds with the ability to manage thousands of concurrent operations, offering 360° support for automated Agent applications. Unified persistent storage architecture: Features an innovative cross-platform context roaming system that supports unified persistence at the state and memory level. This ensures seamless context sharing and state continuity when Agent tasks switch environments. Resources can be loaded on-demand, achieving truly continuous cloud-based Agent execution and a consistent data experience. Flexible integration with rich interfaces: Provides two integration methods: SDK and MCP. It supports multiple languages including Python, TypeScript, Java, and R. From the zero-barrier, one-click integration via MCP to the rapid, three-line code SDK implementation for precise control over atomic underlying tools, the platform is developer-friendly and flexible. Technical experts can perform deep customizations, while junior developers can get started quickly. Complete environment customization: Supports comprehensive configuration and management of the Agent's runtime environment, covering system settings, toolset configuration, MCP toolchain integration, network policies, resource allocation, and lifecycle control. Developers can customize runtime parameters on-demand, flexibly schedule and monitor Agent behavior, and meet the personalized deployment needs of complex business use cases. Billing method: AgentBay supports both pay-as-you-go and subscription billing models: Pay-as-you-go: A "use first, pay later" model. Bills are generated based on the actual usage duration of the cloud environments and are deducted from your Alibaba Cloud account. Subscription (point package): A "pay first, use later" model. You can purchase point packages in advance. As you use cloud environments, points are deducted from your package, with settlements occurring at the top of every hour.
