Bahama: The Cloud Toolkit for Agents

  How it Works

Bahama.ai was created from my own frustration in deploying AI-generated software. Sure, Codex can help me build complex, full-stack applications... but then what? Getting those applications online is still painfully manual. The agent asks me to create a database, copy a connection string, configure another provider, and return when everything is ready.

I ended up working for my agent.

What Bahama does

Bahama is an open-source cloud toolkit built for coding agents. It gives agents one consistent way to provision resources, connect them securely, deploy applications, and verify the result. Best of all, it's an open CLI with no lock-in. Connect your favorite cloud providers and Bahama does the rest.

The desired stack lives in a small bahama.yaml file. Bahama turns that intent into a read-only plan showing the providers, accounts, and operations involved. The user approves consequential changes; Bahama then executes each step and verifies it against live provider state.

A coding agent can use Bahama to create a Neon (or Supabase, or MongoDB...) database, connect it to local development and Vercel (or Cloudflare, or Fly.io...), and deploy the application—without copying secrets through chat or sending the user through multiple dashboards.

How I Built Bahama with Codex

Work on the open Bahama CLI and agent skill began at the start of OpenAI Build Week. Codex and GPT‑5.6 helped turn the original idea into a published alpha by keeping changes aligned across the CLI, core engine, providers, tests, and agent skill.

Because this project included a complex monorepo with a CLI, Agent Skill, many provider connections as well as a first-part Bahama Cloud provider, the biggest challenge was managing context. At first, I invested most of my time upfront in design extensive project documentation on architecture and vision, a deep AGENTS.md file. This was time well spent, as Codex was then able to understand the project at a much deeper level, work for longer, and achieve better results. Rule #1 when coding with AI: document your project!
