A curated list of Agent OS, web OS, and persistent cloud desktop resources for people building or operating AI agents — not just chat wrappers.
Why this exists: Most “AI agent” lists mix chatbots, API wrappers, and real operating environments. This list focuses on platforms and patterns that give agents a persistent workspace: files, browser, scheduling, and visibility.
