Managed Agent VM

Your agent needs a machine. This is ours.

A small virtual machine that runs your AI agent and nothing else. We update it after taking a snapshot, roll it back if the update fails its health check, back it up nightly, and answer the ticket when something breaks. Your model key stays yours.

Managed, more hands

Managed Agent VM Plus

$199 a month

  • Everything in Managed Agent VM
  • 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe
  • Three 30-minute tickets a month
  • A 30-minute monthly configuration review, written up; no change without your approval

Month to month. Your agent's machine, memory, files and backups stay on our servers in Canada; each model call goes to the provider you pick.

The box is small because an agent mostly waits. What you pay for is the desk, the snapshot before every update, the rollback and the backups.

What you are paying for

The part a cheap server does not include

  • A snapshot before every update, and a rollback if the health check fails.
  • A human desk on published hours, not a chat robot.
  • Your approval before anyone changes anything on your systems.
  • The hours written on the ticket, so you know what a ticket cost.
  • Nightly backups kept 14 days, in Canada.
  • The machine, its memory and its backups in our own Toronto data centre.

Our desk is open 8 am to 6 pm Pacific, Monday to Friday (11 am to 9 pm Eastern), except BC statutory holidays. Outside those hours nobody is watching your machine. A ticket filed then is picked up when the desk opens, and a person replies within 4 desk hours.

The questions buyers ask

The answers, in plain words

Where is it?
On our own servers. Agent machines launch in our Toronto data centre.
Whose law applies?
iDigital Internet Inc. is a British Columbia company, Canadian-owned, with no parent company abroad, so Canadian and British Columbia privacy law applies. We do not claim that no foreign court can ever reach data. Nobody honest can.
Who runs it?
Our own staff, on our own servers. There is no third party between you and the desk.
Who holds the keys?
You hold your model key and your app logins. We hold root access to the machine and open it only on a ticket you filed. The ticket shows who opened it and when.
How do I leave?
Cancel, take the image and the runbook with you, and we delete the machine and its last backup within 14 days.

The security and residency statement says what leaves Canada in a model call, and what does not.

Scope

What the plan covers, and what it does not

Written down so the desk and you read the same list.

We look after

  • The operating system and its security updates
  • The agent runtime version, pinned and tested before it reaches your VM
  • Nightly backups, kept 14 days, and restores from them
  • Rollback when an update fails its health check
  • The VM's network and firewall

You look after

  • Your prompts, skills and connected apps
  • What the model says or does
  • Your model provider's bill
  • Changes a chat platform makes to its own rules
  • Any VM we did not image

Tickets past the ones included in your plan are on the maintenance page, at a published price.

Questions

Before you buy

Which agent program runs on it?

OpenClaw, an open-source program that runs an AI agent. It is what we have run our own agent on since February 2026, and the version on your machine is pinned, so an update never arrives unannounced. We are rebuilding our own machine into the image customers get. The program can be swapped later if something better arrives; what you are paying for is the machine, the backups and the person on the ticket.

Whose model key is it?

Yours. You pick the provider and pay it directly. Before you connect the key you set a monthly spend limit in that provider's console, and we do it with you on the handover call.

What does the model itself cost?

That is your provider's bill, not ours, and we never resell it. A light workload for a small team runs about 10 to 80 dollars a month on a mid-range model, and can pass 140 dollars a month on the most expensive tier. The spend limit is how you cap it.

Why not a cheaper server with the agent installed on it?

You can run it yourself. The software is open source and the install is a weekend. This plan is the patching after a snapshot, the rollback when an update fails, the backups, and a person who answers when it stops working. That is the part that costs money.

I read that these agents get hacked. What is different here?

Most of those stories are an agent left open to the internet on somebody's cloud account. Ours has no public control port: it listens only on the machine itself. The instruction files it runs from are locked, so a message cannot rewrite them. The machine is backed up nightly, so a bad day is a restore. It is not magic. An agent you give write access to can still do what it was asked to do, which is why writes wait for your approval.

What counts as a ticket?

A scoped request about the machine, the agent program, the backups or a rollback, worked by our desk with the logs open. Your prompts, your skills and what the model says are outside the plan; those are a setup package or a maintenance ticket.

Not sure which plan?

Book the call and we will say which plan fits the work you have in mind. Managed Agent VM is $79 a month.
