Introducing Hatcher: Deploy AI Agents in 60 Seconds
Today we are launching Hatcher — the easiest way to deploy autonomous AI agents across any platform, starting in under 60 seconds.
We built Hatcher because we were tired of the same problem: you want to run an AI agent, but first you need to provision a server, write a Dockerfile, wire up environment variables, configure auto-restarts, manage uptime, and debug networking issues before your agent even sends its first message. That's hours of yak-shaving before you even know if your idea works.
What Hatcher Does
Hatcher is a managed hosting platform for AI agents. You pick a framework, configure your agent, and we handle everything else:
- Docker containers per agent — full isolation, dedicated resources
- 20+ platform integrations — Telegram, Discord, Twitter, WhatsApp, Slack, and more, all wired up out of the box
- 2 frameworks — OpenClaw and Hermes, each with focused strengths and tooling
- Auto-sleep and auto-wake — idle agents sleep to save resources, wake instantly on incoming messages
- LLM proxy with rate limiting — use our hosted UsePod/OpenRouter models or bring your own key for provider-paid BYOK usage
Free Tier, No Strings
Every account includes a free tier with one agent, 500 AI Credits/month on our hosted LLM, and all integrations enabled. No credit card required. No trial period. Just sign up and deploy.
If you bring your own LLM key (BYOK), Hatcher does not spend or meter your AI Credits — even on the free tier. We made this choice deliberately: you should be able to build and run a production agent while paying your LLM provider directly.
The Stack
Under the hood, Hatcher runs each agent in its own Docker container with resource limits appropriate to your tier. The orchestrator monitors heartbeats, auto-sleeps idle free containers, and wakes them on incoming platform events — all transparently. You see a live dashboard with interaction counts, status, and logs.
Payments for premium tiers are handled in SOL or our platform token, priced in USD and converted at the live Jupiter rate. We built on Solana because the transaction costs and speed make micropayments practical in a way that EVM chains still do not.
Chat-to-Hatch to Get Started
Instead of browsing a static template catalog, describe the outcome you want. Hatcher drafts the framework, identity, skills, integrations, and model settings, then gives you a launch review before deployment.
What's Next
We are a small team and we ship fast. The roadmap includes stronger agent operations, remote MCP connectors, safer approvals, and more integrations. We will be posting updates here as we go.
Sign up at hatcher.host/register — it takes 30 seconds, no credit card required. Your first agent is free.
