how it runs
A serverless agent on OpenComputer. Yours in one click.
The whole product is one agent file, three tools, and this form. OpenComputer runs the agent, the microVM it renders in, the model gateway, and the session API the page polls.
opencomputer deploy. No framework, no queue, no server of ours.defineTool functions. web_fetch returns page text plus title, headings, the most used hex colors, and Google Fonts. check_scene loads the film and reports JS errors and the visible text at sample timestamps. render_video renders and uploads.// opencomputer/agents/director/agent.ts
import { useInput, useModel, useTool } from "@opencomputer/agent";
import { checkScene, renderVideo } from "./tools/scene.js";
import { webFetch } from "./tools/web.js";
export default function Agent() {
const input = useInput(); // the JOB block from the form
useModel("anthropic/claude-opus-5.5");
useTool(webFetch); // read the product's site
useTool(checkScene); // load the HTML, report errors + visible text
useTool(renderVideo); // headless Chromium → ffmpeg → Blob
return `You are a motion designer who writes code. ...`;
}Deploy this agent
One click. Free account, the agent lands in your project with its tools and prompt.

Build your own agent
The quickstart: a TypeScript file, a deploy, a session. Ten minutes.
npx opencomputer template deploy https://github.com/diggerhq/shipvideoEverything above is in the repo, and one click deploys it to your account. The idea comes from Deedy's post on Opus 5.5 and instructional video: the model writes the film as code, and code renders the same every time.
