Question 1

What is Dedalus Labs?

Accepted Answer

Dedalus Labs is an agent infrastructure platform at dedaluslabs.ai providing persistent full-Linux VMs where AI agents live and work, plus Dedalus Auth for managing MCP server credentials.

Question 2

Why do agents need persistent VMs?

Accepted Answer

Long-running work—monitoring, research loops, multi-day builds—breaks when the environment resets. A persistent VM lets the agent keep its tools, state, and background jobs across sessions.

Question 3

What is Dedalus Auth?

Accepted Answer

A credential layer for MCP: agents authenticate once and get scoped access to the MCP servers they are authorized to call, instead of per-server keys scattered in configs.

Question 4

Dedalus Labs vs kosa8?

Accepted Answer

kosa8 (kosa8-agent-microvm) isolates risky agent actions in checkpointable microVMs for security; Dedalus optimizes for durable working environments and MCP credential management. Many teams will want both postures.
