Hello!
I was taken aback when an AI agent edited a video for me in one shot. I looked at it while it installed ffmpeg, used yt-dlp and corrected its own mistakes. Fast forward, I was on a bus and I needed something to be done by an AI agent but I didn't have my laptop with me - I wished I could I fire up a browser tab and an agent would be there to do the task. Hence, cronbox was born - a way to launch AI agents in the cloud and schedule them for tasks.
If you have been following news, Claude code also released scheduling in the cloud. I checked it out and its pretty restrictive. It fails to even take the screenshot of your website. Couldn't display the generated SVG. Can't do outbound network calls and so on. Also, we email you with the results, they don't.
