Features
Read full description

Vorflux is the cloud home for AI software engineering. Point it at your backlog and dedicated cloud agents carry the work from task to shipped PR while you sleep. One customer asked for a feature at 2 AM and woke up to an 8,000-line production PR. The difference is a cloud that can actually run your app. Vorflux runs your whole stack on a real machine (repos, databases, CI/CD, feature flags), builds your app, runs your tests, clicks through the flow in a real browser, and attaches video proof to the PR. What lands is reviewed, tested, production-ready software. Vorflux fits the tools your team already uses: GitHub, Linear, Slack, AWS, Kubernetes, Sentry, and PagerDuty. With Vorflux, your team can: Run AI coding agents in the cloud, on a real machine that actually runs and tests your app Clear the backlog overnight: the feature you've been putting off for months, done by morning Cover the whole lifecycle: planning, design, code, automated review, human review, and testing Throw compute at the work instead of headcount Ship production code with agents that own the outcome, not just the code Keep engineers on the decisions that matter Built by the founding CTO of Rippling.
