# Skydive (slim)

> Skydive, from Create, Inc., hosts AI agents that each get a cloud Linux computer, file-based memory and connected apps. People reach them on the web, in Slack, by email, SMS or iMessage, in a Mac app or from a CLI.

Assessment: Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI. Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.

## Facts

- Kind: Platform · vendor: Create, Inc. · category: Personal assistants · legal entity: Create, Inc. · provenance 95/100
- Endpoint: `https://api.skydive.com/v1` (HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth or key · pricing: Freemium · x402: no · licence: Closed service under the Skydive Terms of Service (Create, Inc.), effective 29 July 2026. The skydive-cli npm package is published under the MIT licence.
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface listed: The Skydive service as documented at www.skydive.com/docs (docs llms.txt, about 99 product pages and 409 integration pages), the REST API's OpenAPI document, the blog llms.txt, and the Terms, Privacy Policy and DPA read from the site's JS bundle, on 31 October 2026. No account was created and no authenticated call was made. The skydive.sh install script was not read or run.
- Who makes it: Create, Inc., 214 Grant Ave, Suite 301, San Francisco, CA 94108, per the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (29 July 2026). A Skydive blog post by Dhruv Amin calls Create "the company behind Anything and Skydive" (https://www.skydive.com/blog/llms.txt).
- Where it runs: Each agent runs in its own isolated Linux sandbox in the cloud, which sleeps when idle and is ephemeral; memory, persona, tools and MCP config persist in a git repository per agent (https://www.skydive.com/docs/get-started/faq.md). Subprocessors named in the privacy policy include E2B and Vercel for sandboxes, AWS for hosting and storage, and Cloudflare. Processing may occur in the United States and where subprocessors operate (DPA Annex).
- What it acts on: A cloud browser, terminal, files, web search, hosted web apps and a managed Postgres database (https://www.skydive.com/docs/capabilities/overview.md). Connected services by OAuth, MCP, API key or browser sign-in, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Contacts and Tasks (privacy policy section 3). Its own email inbox and phone number. With Portal, files, commands, localhost and the signed-in browser on the owner's Mac or Linux machine, off by default and granted per agent (https://www.skydive.com/docs/integrations/portal.md). Payments through connected services such as Agentcard virtual cards (https://www.skydive.com/docs/integrations/agentcard.md).
- Channels: Web chat, Slack, email (an address on skydivemail.ai or a custom domain on paid plans), SMS and iMessage (a free shared pool line or a US$100 a month dedicated line), a macOS desktop app (macOS 10.15 or later) and the CLI for macOS and Linux. One identity and one memory across channels (https://www.skydive.com/docs/channels/overview.md).
- Outside agent access: The REST API at https://api.skydive.com/v1 manages agents, API keys and secrets with bearer keys; versioned by path, additive-only within v1, cursor pagination, errors as {"error": ...} (https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/overview.md). Tasks are sent from scripts with the CLI's `chat -p` print mode (https://www.skydive.com/docs/cli/scripting.md). Skydive is not an MCP server; its agents connect to MCP servers by catalogue or URL (https://www.skydive.com/docs/integrations/mcp.md). Agents can also be reached by email or text from outside a workspace when their outside-access level is Use (https://www.skydive.com/docs/agents/permissions.md).
- Sending limits: Agents send email only when asked. The shared email domain allows 10 outbound emails per rolling week per workspace; replies and inbound mail don't count, and custom domains aren't capped. Text agents reply only in threads they are already in and can't text a number that never wrote to them (https://www.skydive.com/docs/channels/email.md and https://www.skydive.com/docs/channels/text.md).
- Credentials: Every outbound request from the sandbox passes through Skydive's proxy, which attaches stored credentials per agent and per host, path and method rule, and the Secrets and Network controls pages say the agent never holds the raw value. The OpenAPI description of setAgentSecret says a secret also becomes an environment variable in the agent's sandbox, and the platform CLI inside the sandbox lists `secrets get` and `secrets download --plain` to read values. Secrets are write-only over the REST API (https://www.skydive.com/docs/capabilities/network.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/cli/secrets.md, https://api.skydive.com/v1/openapi.json).
- Models: 300+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google and open-source providers, with Skydive Glide as the default router. Workspaces can restrict routing to no-training or zero-data-retention providers. Agents with Google connections are limited to zero-retention routes (https://www.skydive.com/docs/account/model-settings.md and https://www.skydive.com/docs/agents/trusted-models.md). The launch post says 170+.
- Data handling: Training on customer content is on by default with a workspace or organisation opt-out; an Order Form may add a no-training covenant. Deleted content leaves active systems within 30 days. After termination, content is exportable for 60 days and deleted from active systems within 90 days. Content-level network logs are kept up to 30 days and metadata, metering and security logs up to 12 months. Breach notice within 48 hours. No sale of personal information (privacy policy sections 4, 8, 9 and 10).
- Terms: 18 or older. Customers are responsible for their agents' actions, including transactions and payments. Liability capped at the greater of 12 months' fees or US$100, doubled for breaches of the secrets and security sections. California law, AAA arbitration with a class-action waiver and an opt-out. 14 days' notice of material changes (Terms of Service sections 1, 4, 13, 15 and 17).
- Release history: The docs changelog runs from 29 April to 6 September (no year given), including the CLI and API keys on 15 June and the move to skydive.com on 29 June (https://www.skydive.com/docs/changelog.md). skydive-cli on npm was created 21 July 2026; 0.5.0, the latest stable, was published 26 August 2026 and 0.6.0-beta.191 on 31 October 2026. The package has no repository field and no install hooks (https://registry.npmjs.org/skydive-cli).
- Status and security contact: status.skydive.com is an incident.io page with components for API, Agents, Agent Hosting, Channels, Email, Slack and Web App, and lists incidents such as "Agents unresponsive" and "Degraded credentials/auth" with timestamps between 3 September and 29 October 2026. security.txt names security@skydive.com and expires 1 January 2027.
- Personal use: The FAQ and launch post describe agents for teams and individuals; the Starter plan is described as "for individuals getting started". The use-case post has a Personal section (items 207 to 231) and the launch post says "everyone has an EA agent they email, Slack, and text" (https://www.skydive.com/blog/llms.txt).
- Prices: Starter plan $20 per month (plan); Team plan $200 per month (plan); Dedicated iMessage line $100 per month (plan)

## Before you call it

1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p "..." --agent <id> --json` and pass `--conversation <id>` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.
2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.
3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.
4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.
5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.

Disclosure: Skydive competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
