What is Isle?
Isle gives computer-use AI agents managed desktop environments with real applications already installed and configured. Teams launch KiCad or FreeCAD sessions and control them through a Python SDK with screenshots, mouse, keyboard, and file transfer. Health monitoring, artifact checkpoints, and recovery controls keep long agent runs from failing silently. It works with any model or agent framework.
Top Features:
- Ready applications: electronics and 3D design apps come preinstalled, so agents skip setup work.
- Health monitoring: tracks whether the application itself is working, not just the machine.
- Artifact checkpoints: save and restore environment states before risky actions or edits.
Use Cases:
- PCB design: let an agent draw schematics and lay out boards inside KiCad.
- CAD automation: have agents build and edit parametric 3D models in FreeCAD.
- Agent evaluation: run repeatable desktop tasks and restore checkpoints to compare model behaviour.
Who Can Use Isle?
- AI engineers: build computer-use agents without maintaining virtual machines and app installs.
- Hardware teams: automate electronics and mechanical design jobs in familiar engineering software.
- Research labs: test agent reliability on real desktop apps with controlled environment states.
Pricing
- Free (free): five environment hours monthly, 30-minute runtime cap, and one concurrent environment.
- Developer ($29 per month): 100 environment hours, unlimited session runtime, and five concurrent environments.
- Enterprise (contact sales): unlimited hours, custom applications, dedicated support, and SLA uptime guarantees.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Real applications: agents work in full desktop software rather than simplified browser mockups.
- Safe recovery: checkpoints and restarts let agents recover from mistakes without restarting.
- Generous entry: a free tier and low Developer price make testing inexpensive.
Cons:
- Few apps: only KiCad and FreeCAD are ready today without an enterprise plan.
- Developer only: it requires Python coding plus an existing agent loop to connect.
- Short sessions: the free plan caps each run at thirty minutes of runtime.
FAQs:
1) Which applications are supported?
KiCad and FreeCAD are available now, and enterprise customers can request custom software.
2) Do I need a specific AI model?
No, it works with any computer-use model or agent framework you choose.
3) How do agents control the desktop?
Through a Python SDK with screenshots, mouse clicks, keyboard input, and file transfers.
4) What happens when an app crashes?
Health monitoring flags problems, then you restart the app or restore a checkpoint.
5) Is there a free plan?
Yes, five environment hours each month with a thirty-minute session cap.
