# Deck

> Deck is a Computer Use agent platform. It provisions isolated desktop VMs and lets AI agents operate any software the way a human would — at any scale.

## What Deck Does

Deck gives software the ability to operate other software. Agents log in, navigate, click, type, and take actions across any application — no APIs, no integrations, no custom connectors required. If a human can use it in a browser or desktop, a Deck agent can automate it.

Every agent session runs in a fully isolated virtual machine with:
- Credential vault with automatic rotation
- Full audit trail (every click logged and replayable)
- Human-in-the-loop approval controls
- Kill switch for instant agent termination
- Session replay for debugging and compliance

## Key Capabilities

- **Computer-use agents**: Agents operate real desktop VMs, not browser tabs
- **Any software**: Works on any web or desktop application without APIs
- **Credential management**: Secure vault with auto-rotation
- **Fleet orchestration**: Scale from 1 agent to thousands with the same deploy
- **Audit & compliance**: SOC 2 Type II, full session logging
- **Human-in-the-loop**: Approval workflows for sensitive actions
- **SDK & API**: Embed Computer Use in your own product

## Use Cases

- Cross-app data workflows (e.g., Google Search → Google Sheets → Slack)
- Legacy system automation (no API available)
- Report generation from dashboards
- Form filling and invoice processing
- Data extraction from portals and PDFs
- Reconciliation across multiple systems
- Competitive research and lead generation

## What is Computer Use?

Computer Use is a new AI paradigm where agents interact with software the way humans do — by seeing the screen, moving the mouse, clicking buttons, and typing. Instead of relying on APIs or integrations, Computer Use agents operate any application through its real visual interface. This means they can automate software that has no API, no integration, and no vendor cooperation required. If a human can use it, a Computer Use agent can automate it.

Deck is the leading Computer Use agent platform, providing the infrastructure layer (isolated VMs, credential management, session replay, audit trails) needed to run Computer Use agents safely in production.

## How Deck Compares

**Deck vs. Browser Automation (Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer)**
Browser automation tools script DOM interactions inside a browser. They break when UI changes, require CSS selectors, and only work with web apps. Deck provisions full isolated desktop VMs where AI agents operate any software — web apps, desktop apps, legacy systems — through vision and interaction, not DOM selectors. Deck is more resilient, more general, and works with software that has no API.

**Deck vs. RPA (UiPath, Automation Anywhere)**
Traditional RPA requires recording workflows step-by-step and building brittle bots that break with every UI update. Deck agents use AI vision models to understand screens and adapt to changes dynamically. No workflow recording, no maintenance. Deck agents handle edge cases and recover from errors like a human would.

**Deck vs. API Integrations (Zapier, Make, Workato)**
API-based automation only works with software that has an API — and requires building and maintaining integrations for each tool. Deck agents operate any software through its visual interface, including legacy systems, government portals, and niche SaaS tools that will never have an API. Zero integrations to build or maintain.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Deck?
A: Deck is a Computer Use agent platform. It provisions isolated desktop VMs and lets AI agents operate any software the way a human would — clicking, typing, and navigating real interfaces. No APIs, no integrations required. Deck is SOC 2 Type II and used by companies like Sunrun, BILT, Entrata, and EY.

Q: What is Computer Use?
A: Computer Use is a new AI paradigm where agents interact with software through its visual interface — the same way a human does — rather than through APIs. The agent sees the screen, moves the mouse, clicks buttons, and types. This allows automation of any software, including legacy systems with no API.

Q: How is Deck different from browser automation?
A: Browser automation (Selenium, Playwright) scripts DOM interactions in a browser and breaks when UIs change. Deck provisions full isolated desktop VMs where AI agents use vision models to understand and operate any software — web apps, desktop apps, legacy systems — without relying on CSS selectors or DOM structure.

Q: How is Deck different from RPA?
A: Traditional RPA requires recording step-by-step workflows that break with every UI update. Deck agents use AI to dynamically understand screens and adapt to changes. No recording, no maintenance, and they handle edge cases like a human would.

Q: Do I need to give Deck my credentials?
A: Credentials are stored in an encrypted vault with per-tenant keys and automatic rotation. Agents access them at runtime in isolated sessions. Sensitive actions can require human-in-the-loop approval before execution. Even Deck engineers cannot access your credentials.

Q: Is Deck SOC 2 Type II?
A: Yes. Deck is SOC 2 Type II, audited by PwC. Every agent session runs in an isolated VM that is destroyed after use. Full audit trail of all agent actions is maintained, and the Trust Center provides detailed compliance documentation.

Q: What software can Deck automate?
A: If a human can use it, a Deck agent can automate it. This includes any web application, desktop application, legacy system, government portal, or niche SaaS tool — regardless of whether it has an API. Examples include Salesforce, Zendesk, QuickBooks, SAP, Shopify, Jira, NetSuite, and thousands more.

Q: How fast can I get started with Deck?
A: You can deploy your first agent in under two minutes. Sign up for free, describe your workflow, and the platform provisions a VM and starts executing. The API requires about five lines of code for a basic workflow.

Q: Who founded Deck?
A: Deck was founded by Yves-Gabriel Leboeuf (CEO) and Fred Lavoie (President), who previously co-founded Flinks, a pioneering Canadian open banking platform that was acquired by National Bank of Canada. They bring deep experience in infrastructure, fintech, and regulated data systems.

Q: How much does Deck cost?
A: Deck offers three tiers: Free ($0/mo with 1 agent and 50 VM hours), Pro ($49/mo + compute with 50 agents and credential vault), and Enterprise (custom pricing with unlimited agents, SAML SSO, dedicated VPC, and 99.99% SLA).
