MuleRun Computer ​

MuleRun Computer is a persistent cloud machine that belongs to you. It has its own disk and workspace, so the files you save and the environment you set up persist long-term. It is backed up automatically every day and can be restored, and it is the runtime that your Scheduled Tasks run on.

What You Can Do ​

  • Computer Chat: operate the machine in natural language — run jobs, install things, ask it to manage files.
  • Files: browse, preview, upload, and download the files on your Computer.
  • Settings: manage the instance — Reboot, Delete, Upgrade, Update Version, and choose a personality.
  • Channels: connect IM tools (Telegram, Discord, Feishu/Lark, WeChat, WhatsApp) so you can talk to Computer from chat.
  • What's New: receive update prompts and apply new versions when they ship.

Tasks can also be dispatched from a Super Agent Task: Super Agent sends commands to Computer via its CLI — for example creating a Computer, configuring a Channel, or creating a Scheduled Task. The work is actually executed on Computer.

Who Can Use It? ​

Free users do not have Computer access; a paid subscription is required. Different paid tiers map to different machine specs (for example 2c4g, 4c8g, 8c12g). To change specs, switch your plan and then run Upgrade in Settings — there is no standalone spec selector. Some advanced capabilities (such as Scheduled Tasks) require Plus or above. Actual specs and permissions are subject to the subscription page.

Six Personalities ​

When you create a Computer you choose a personality, which shapes its default working style:

  • General: balanced, suitable for everyday workflows.
  • Investment: market trends, financial data, portfolios.
  • Image Creation: high-quality image and design generation.
  • Marketing: ads, copywriting, campaign optimization.
  • Coding & Building: pair programming, architecture, debugging.
  • Research & Report: deep, professional reports.

Files ​

The Files panel lets you work with everything stored on your Computer:

  • Browse and preview: text, images, audio/video, and PDF preview inline; oversized or unsupported files show a prompt instead.
  • Upload files into the Computer.
  • Download a single file, or use Download all files as zip.

The Files panel does not support delete, rename, or creating a new file/folder directly in the UI. To do those, ask the agent in Computer Chat.

Settings ​

Manage the instance from Settings:

  • Reboot: forces an OS restart (up to about 2 minutes); data is kept.
  • Delete: powers off the Computer. It stays recoverable or re-creatable for 30 days; after 30 days the data is deleted.
  • Upgrade: applies the spec change for your current plan. The Computer is unavailable for up to about 1 hour; data is kept.
  • Update Version: a Beta major upgrade — smarter and cheaper on Credits. It migrates your data and remains recoverable.
  • Choose a personality: set or change the personality (see above).

Built-in Skills ​

The agent comes with a built-in skill set that roughly matches Super Agent's, loaded automatically as needed — for example channel connectors, document handling (docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx), finance analysis, image and video generation, frontend design, browser automation (playwright), and news briefings. A vnc-browser skill makes login-required tasks smoother and preserves your login state across sessions, so you usually don't have to log in again.

Backup & Restore ​

  • Automatic backup runs daily at 00:00 UTC, plus a safety backup before each restore.
  • You can run Create Backup manually at any time.
  • The most recent 7 backups are kept.
  • A Restore runs in five steps: safety backup, stop the instance, reset the system disk, reset the data disk, then start. Backups are tagged Auto or Manual.

Channels ​

Connect IM tools — Telegram, Discord, Feishu (Lark), WeChat, WhatsApp — simply by talking to the agent in Computer Chat; there is no separate config panel. Once connected, a channel becomes available as a "Send to" target in Scheduled Tasks. See Channels.

Quick Fix ​

If the Computer becomes unresponsive or behaves oddly, open the wrench icon at the top right of the Computer page and select Quickfix. It runs a one-click diagnose-and-repair (and restarts the gateway so the latest config takes effect). If you add a new channel and it doesn't start polling immediately, run Quick Fix.

Is SSH Supported? ​

No. Computer does not support SSH connections.

Are Terminal and sudo Supported? ​

The agent can run shell commands internally, but a user-facing Terminal and sudo are on the roadmap and not yet available. Future releases will gradually open these capabilities.

Can I Deploy Third-Party Agents? ​

We do not recommend deploying AI Agents other than the officially provided Agent in MuleRun Computer. Third-party Agents may cause configuration conflicts or make Computer go offline.

Do Scheduled Tasks Require the Browser to Stay Open? ​

No. On any paid subscription, correctly configured scheduled tasks usually run on schedule without keeping the browser or the Computer page open. See Scheduled Tasks.
