Inspiration

I met a lot of folks who had heard of Gemini Cli and Claude Code but found it difficult to get it running. I wanted to essentially make it 2 clicks on a website to deploy the agentic coders.

OrcaBot does this. It allows you to run agentic coding TUI's effortlessly in the browser. By running these in a sandbox they are inherently more safe as they cannot mess with files on your machine.

Then people started using OpenClaw and other tools that increased the risk factors. As such I added similar capabilities to OrcaBot allowing users to clearly define access controls.

What it does

Runs agentic coding terminals in a virtual machine on the web.

Gemini is used as the main chat interface to the dashboard as well as Gemini Cli being one of the agentic terminals you can launch.

How we built it

Fly.io docker images and Cloudflare durable objects.

Challenges we ran into

Making the experience safe and smooth, being able to open a chromium browser to login etc.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The secrets broker stops users from giving the LLM's their secret API keys and instead hydrates them just as the requests are made.

What's next for OrcaBot

Making it into a bullet proof production offering.
