Give your agent a goal and close the tab. It keeps working on its own dedicated machine, runs standing orders while you sleep, and every plan includes the machine and a monthly bundle of credits.
Dedicated container, own disk, own address. Swap the machine without changing your plan or your credits.
This demo is live - press the buttons. Pause the machine, switch to another one, take a snapshot. Figures are an example month, not a real account.
A chatbot lives inside one tab, forgets when the tab closes, and can only use the tools handed to it in that moment. A machine has a filesystem, a shell, a browser, a clock, and memory. It can start work without you, keep going while you sleep, and show you afterwards exactly what it did.
Your account belongs to your email address. Your handle, subdomain, and machine address are derived from it, so there is nothing to invent.
"What do you do?" One line. Your machine's first job starts from that answer while you are still reading the confirmation.
One dollar, once — it keeps bots off the machines. Nothing else is charged until your trial credits are spent and you choose to continue.
A machine that was already warm and waiting gets your name on it. You land on your own subdomain with the first job already running.
Every plan includes the machine. The only difference is credits — the fuel it spends as it works. More credits, more work each month.
Every plan starts with a free trial of 1,000 credits — use them at your own pace, no clock running. A one-time $1 card check keeps the machines safe from bots; it's the only charge until your credits are spent and you choose to continue.
Each one has its own personality — a tireless researcher, a night-shift builder, a little watchdog that never sleeps. Press the one that feels right and it wakes up with your name on it, ready in about a minute.

3 DesktopA standing order is recurring work you set once. It runs on your schedule and delivers to your machine, your inbox, or both. Nothing is scheduled until you run it once, see the result, and approve the cadence.
Watch competitors, prices, listings, or a search. Get the delta, not the noise.
Mail from people you know goes straight to the machine. Everyone else is held for your review.
What the machine did, what it finished, what needs your decision on Monday.
Example jobs are illustrative. Your dashboard lists every job a machine has run.
Your one-line brief becomes the machine's first task before you finish reading the confirmation screen.
Tomorrow morning, based on what you do. You review the dry run and its cost before anything is scheduled.
That is a habit, not a demo. Cancelling later means losing something rather than ending something.
A reminder a week before billing, then your plan starts. Change plan, set a top-up cap, or cancel at any time.
We compared Second Machine against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Manus and four others on four checkable properties — dedicated machine, standing orders, per-job cost, and pricing unit. Every fact is sourced to the vendor's own page, and we also list where the others win.
Second Machine's agent runtime is a fork of OpenAgent, an open-source project from the team behind AFFiNE. The whole argument for this product is that you can inspect what you are paying for, so here is the lineage in full rather than a single license badge.
We publish this rather than hide it. The license requires the notice in any case; the product requires the honesty.
Nothing changes for the machine. Jobs continue in your dedicated container. When you come back, the work and its receipt are waiting.
Yes. One container, one storage volume, one isolated database, one subdomain, one metered key. A machine that was assigned to someone is destroyed when they leave, never handed to someone else.
Credits are the fuel your machine spends as it works. Every plan includes a monthly bundle, and you can buy a pack inside your account whenever you want more.
Auto-refill keeps work moving: a 10,000-credit pack tops you up automatically, at most once a month. You can turn it off, or buy packs yourself inside your account.
It verifies your card is real, which keeps bots from farming free machines. It is charged once, and nothing else is billed until your trial credits are spent and you choose a plan.
They can try. Mail from addresses you have approved goes straight to the machine. Everything else is held for your review, because anything that reaches your machine can spend your credits.
The machine stops. Your files, memory, and standing orders stay intact. Updating your card restarts it. Nothing is deleted while the subscription exists.
Yes. Upsizes apply immediately and restart at the next idle moment. A downsize on a busy machine is refused rather than queued, so work is never cut off mid-job.
One click in your account, or the link in any email from us. Your machine keeps running through the period you paid for, then enters a retention window before it is destroyed.
Answer one question about what you do. Your machine starts on it before you finish reading the confirmation, and proposes tomorrow morning's standing order. Plans from $29.95 a month.
