Launch

🚀 generous.dev launch!

generous.dev is here — Instant cloud-based coding environments. Spin up an isolated cloud devbox in a second, edit in a familiar VSCode editor from any device, and power up your development with a built-in coding agent.

Code with agents. Start a devbox straight from a prompt, then watch an agent read, search, and edit your files and run commands right in the devbox — picking the model and effort that fit the task.

Connected to GitHub. Review a live diff of every change, and commit straight back to your repository without ever leaving the editor.

A new dashboard. See all of your devboxes, recent activity and token spend at a glance.
