AgentSky topped Product Hunt's August 3 leaderboard with 220 points; its cloud cloning copies a local Claude Code or Codex agent into the cloud with one prompt.
Why now: AgentSky's win comes from Product Hunt's August 3 leaderboard, the same day a related listing sold harness portability alone at three prices.
AgentSky topped Product Hunt's August 3 daily leaderboard with 220 points, selling managed AI agents that skip the usual harness and model lock-in.
Most agent vendors count on switching costs, locking people into one harness and one model to keep the subscription running. AgentSky's pitch flips that, charging for infrastructure that works with whatever harness someone already runs.
Per agentsky.dev, users pick a harness, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes or OpenClaw. They pick a model too, then launch with one click or one CLI command.
AgentSky hosts each one as a managed worker with durable state, including snapshots, backups and restore.
The same agent stays reachable, history intact, from WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Slack, the web, an API or the CLI.
The standout feature is cloud cloning, per agentsky.dev. Paste one prompt into a local Claude Code or Codex agent, and it rebuilds in the cloud with the same instructions, model and MCP servers. Secrets and session history stay on the local machine.
AgentSky is betting durable state and cross-channel reach beat harness or model choice as the reason people keep paying an agent vendor. Watch whether that holds against pure portability plays; a related Product Hunt listing sold harness portability alone, at three price points, in 48 hours.
Product Hunt doesn't break down how many of the 220 points came from people testing the one-click launch versus committing to a paid worker. Whether the durability pitch converts past launch day is still open.

Unabyss and ZooData beat every app on the leaderboard back to back by selling storage for agents instead of a use case.
