Summary
Even (even.dev) is an agent-native workspace created by Steve (Builder.io). It combines a native terminal, real browser, one-click services, and local models in one window, enabling humans and agents to work side by side.
Key Features
- Native terminal: Built-in terminal for agent and human use
- Real browser: Integrated browser for web-based agent tasks
- One-click services: Easy deployment and service management
- Local models: Run AI models locally for privacy and speed
- Side-by-side workspace: Humans and agents collaborate in the same environment
Philosophy
Even embodies the agent-first-apps paradigm — agents are not add-ons but core to the workspace architecture. The “point of no return” is letting agents run the whole environment instead of just editing files.
