A Linux computer for your assistant

Svanja comes with a Linux computer for the assistant. It has a terminal and a web browser, and Svanja uses it to run code and to work on websites that have no API.

What does Svanja do on the computer?

Work that needs more than a chat. For example, it can clone a client's repository and run the tests there.

The computer sleeps when no task needs it and wakes up when one does. Computer time is charged only while it works.

  • A terminal for you on the Computer page
  • Tools you install can go on a list, so they come back after a rebuild
  • 1 credit for each minute of work

Can I watch what it does in the browser?

Yes. The task page shows the browser live. Press Take control to click and type yourself, then Hand back.

When a website needs a sign-in, Svanja asks you to sign in and waits. It doesn't record the passwords and codes you type.

  • Each sign-in shows where it lives and which task uses it
  • Close a page or sign out at any time
  • It submits forms on a website only when you allow it for that task

Can I show it a chore once?

Yes. Press Show Svanja and do the chore once in its browser, for example downloading the monthly invoice from a supplier's portal. Svanja records the steps and saves them as a browser skill with a script.

Then it runs the skill once in a test that sends nothing, and you see if it works.

Can it use my own computer?

Yes. Install the svanja command line tool and run svanja runner start. Svanja can then run tasks on your machine, with the files and the browser you choose.

The results still go into your Spaces.

What if the computer breaks?

Svanja builds a new one from your Spaces and the last checkpoint. Programs that were running have to be started again, and some websites may ask you to sign in again. Svanja tells you what needs your attention.

Questions about the computer

Where does the cloud computer run?

At a hosting company that the privacy policy names. Its data centre can be outside the EU. You can also pair your own machine with the command line tool and run tasks there.

Is the computer shared with other customers?

No. Your cloud computer is yours. On the Team plan there can also be computers that your team shares.

How much computer time is included?

Computer time costs 1 credit for each minute it works. On Free you can use up to 120 minutes a month. On Pro and Team only your credits set the limit.
