The agency angle is interesting, but I think the bigger opportunity is making isolation operationally effortless. One isolated agent per client sounds great, but the real headache may appear when an agency has to manage dozens of agents across clients. Centralized health monitoring, secret rotation, audit history, and per-client usage/cost visibility could become just as valuable as the sandbox itself. That could turn SEAOTTER from "hosting without the VPS headache" into a real agent operations layer for teams. Curious whether multi-agent management is on the roadmap yet?
Good question — I checked the API docs to answer this properly rather than guess. Turns out most of this is already there, not on a future roadmap. List Agents, per-agent Metrics, Logs, Rotate Credentials, and an org-level Audit Log (list + export) are all live endpoints today, along with per-agent usage tracking.
So the building blocks for "operations layer" exist in the control plane right now. What doesn't exist yet, as far as I can tell, is a first-party dashboard that rolls all of that up across an agency's full client fleet in one screen — today you'd compose it yourself via the API (list agents, then pull metrics/logs/audit per agent).
So probably a better way to frame it: multi-agent management isn't missing, it's just API-level rather than UI-level right now. Whether a unified fleet dashboard ships natively is the real open question. For reference -> https://docs.seaotter.dev/api-reference/overview
That’s a much more interesting distinction. If the operational primitives already exist at the API level, the real product opportunity may be turning that complexity into a zero-friction agency experience. I’d be curious whether you see the unified fleet dashboard as the next UX layer especially around cross-client health, incidents, and cost visibility. That could be a strong differentiator for agencies managing agents at scale.
As a former Hermes user on VPS, I can attest that the reason to consider switching to a managed control plane like SEAOTTER is threefold: 1) ops burden, 2) isolation, 3) secrets management. Having all these packaged into one allows you to focus more on your automations.
The “become the operator of your own VPS” pain feels like the stronger wedge here.
Curious what actually makes users consider switching: the operational burden, the isolation model, or the secrets problem.
About
Running Hermes Agent meant owning a VPS — SSHing in at midnight,
secrets sitting in a plain .env file. SEAOTTER gives every agent its
own gVisor sandbox and namespace, so it's properly isolated without
a VPS per agent.
