# How Conductor moved parallel coding agents from the laptop to the cloud with Vercel Sandbox

By Steven Van · 2026-05-27

Conductor's Cloud Workspaces run coding agents on Vercel Sandbox, letting teams at Notion and Linear keep agents running after closing their laptops.

Conductor, a GUI for running multiple coding agents in parallel on isolated branches of a codebase, used to run every agent on the developer's own machine. That meant the fan climbing, the CPU running hot, and agents stopping the moment a laptop lid closed.

The company built Cloud Workspaces, a remote execution layer running on [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) Sandboxes, so agents spin up on a remote server instead. Developers can now spawn multiple agents and close their laptop without interrupting the work. Co-founder and CEO Charlie Holtz said the interface doesn't change: "Our users can't tell the difference between local and cloud because Vercel Sandboxes are super fast."

Conductor is model-agnostic, working with Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents, and is used by engineering teams at Notion, Linear, Ramp, and Life360.
