Introducing DigitalOcean Cuttlefish: Get more done with agents on the go

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

The native iPhone application acts as a remote command center for autonomous agents operating inside DigitalOcean's isolated microVMs. Users can deploy new workflows, inspect findings, provide steering context, and grant execution approvals directly from their mobile devices. The underlying platform supports an extensive ecosystem of developer frameworks such as LangGraph and CrewAI alongside tens of thousands of external tools. Furthermore, a new storage integration automatically synchronizes file changes between the agent environments and cloud enterprise drives.

Your agent has been refactoring for two hours. It’s deep in the codebase, making real progress, and then it stops: “Can I run this migration?”

Nothing happens until you answer. And you’re not at your desk. You’re in line at the grocery store, or waiting at school pickup.

DigitalOcean Managed Agents, in Public Preview, already moved your agents off your laptop and into the cloud. Each session runs in its own isolated sandbox, so the work keeps going after you close the lid. Now the person in the loop can be anywhere too.

Today we’re introducing Cuttlefish, a native iPhone app for Managed Agents. From your phone, you can review what an agent found, add the context only you have, approve the next step, or start new work. Then you put your phone away and get on with your day.

Agents run for minutes, hours, or overnight, and they stop to ask for permission along the way. Cuttlefish is built for those moments:

We built Managed Agents around three principles: choice, control, and collaboration. Choice means you pick…
