Keeps its own workspace
The agent maintains a persistent workspace between runs, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch every time.
- 01Who the owner is: business, timezone, quiet hours, delivery channel
- 02Watched repos with each one's package manager and exact test command, plus protected dependencies never to touch
- 03How eagerly to upgrade: patch/minor freely, majors as migration notes only, batch sizes, never-upgrade list
Deploy this template and Qoren provisions a dedicated, managed cloud environment: no Docker, VPS, or server upkeep. Tailor the persona, schedules, and tools, use the managed model key or bring your own, and the agent stays online with activity, usage, and spend in one dashboard.
