I built an AI agent and the cloud it runs on. Alone

Ruslan Ianberdin, founder of Playcode, describes building an agent-first platform with its own cloud infrastructure—a custom AI harness and gateway, a transactional file system, Rust-written proxy, DNS and static hosting, persistent machines, email, VPC, mobile apps and real-time multiplayer—largely solo over several years. He says it launched on May 24, 2026, and that a single operation on the backend is exposed to the UI, agent, CLI, user API and MCP at once. He also recounts his career history and argues the interface of the future is an AI worker that completes tasks end to end.
