Welcome to Runabot Documentation#
Runabot is a security-focused hosting solution for AI-agents such as OpenClaw, and AI coding assistants such as VSCode-Copilot.
We provide a turnkey platform for deploying and managing AI bots–without requiring any DevOps knowledge.
Features#
- Cost-effective Isolated Environments: Each bot runs in a Kubernetes Pod, allowing deduplication of RAM and files.
- Powerful Firewall: Combination of classic and DNS-based egress firewall: AI agents can access only the allowed domains and IPs.
- Protection against prompt injection: All downloaded materials are checked for malicious content.
- Protection against supply chain attacks: All tokens and passwords are issued by runabot proxy service and thus are useless even if an attacker steals them from the bot.
- Backup & Restore: Automated backups via Velero. You can create a new bot from any backup.
- Easy Login: Secure login with email-code, Google, Microsoft, or GitHub.
Roadmap#
Here’s where we are and where we’re heading:
- MVP – Core platform with bot deployment, web terminal, and user management
- Backup & Restore – Full bot state backup with one-click restore
- Own Inference Infrastructure – Self-hosted LLM for unlimited, private inference
- Network Security & Prompt Injection Protection – Enhanced isolation and AI safety measures
- First Paying Customers – Launch subscription plans and onboard early adopters
- Trillion-Parameter Model – Scale to a state-of-the-art open-source model as community grows
Who We Are#
We are two IT engineers, each with over 15 years of experience in software engineering and DevOps.
We live in Germany and work at IT companies in high-rank technical roles. Runabot is our hobby project, currently used by friends and family. We built it to solve our own software development needs – and we think others will find it useful too.
Our Vision#
“Together we are strong”
Our aim is to build a community of bot users–both private individuals and businesses–who share common values: privacy, cost efficiency, and independence from commercial AI providers.
Together, we will run inference of a large, “smart” open-source model that provides a great AI-assistant experience. This approach solves many challenges:
| Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|
| Digital Sovereignty | Data stays in Germany, ensuring EU compliance for individuals and businesses alike. |
| LLM Cost & Limits | No subscription caps means your bot is always available. |
| Privacy | Your conversations remain private, not used for training. |
