# Fly.io

A cloud platform selling hardware-isolated Linux virtual machines designed specifically for AI agents, called Sprites, to agent builders and developers.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Vercel and Fly.io both sell cloud infrastructure for deploying and running AI agent workloads to the same developer audience, with Fly.io's Sprites directly competing against Vercel's agentic workloads offering.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Real hardware-isolated Linux computers for agents, evals, and tools

> Computers for agents

> Sandboxes aren't enough. Give your agent a real computer and get back to building.
