What Is Skydive? Anything's AI Coworker Platform
Skydive launched publicly on August 20, 2026, built by Anything, the AI app-builder company. The pitch is unusually literal: not chatbots, not workflows, but coworkers. You create an agent, give it a name and a role, and it gets its own cloud computer to work on.
How Skydive works
Every Skydive agent runs on a machine of its own, with a browser, a file system, and a terminal. That is the part that separates it from a workflow builder. An agent is not choosing between preset actions, it is using the same tools a person on your team would use.
You reach those agents where you already talk to colleagues: Slack, email, and iMessage. They also work across desktop and the web. There is no separate console anyone has to learn in order to hand an agent a task.
Three details matter if you are evaluating it seriously:
- More than 170 frontier and open-weight models are supported, so an agent is not tied to one vendor’s model.
- Administrators control access, data, usage, and spending centrally, while individual employees still build their own agents. That combination is the actual enterprise argument: distributed building, central governance.
- Signing up is free.
What people are building with it
Skydive ran in closed beta with more than 20 companies before launch, and the published examples are more specific than most launch copy:
- an agent that writes and publishes hundreds of landing pages optimized for search
- an agent managing 1,500 Slack channels with high-priority customers
- agents that monitor production and ship fixes daily in a self-improving loop
The strongest evidence is Anything’s own operation. Its 15-person team works alongside more than 150 agents across customer support, engineering, marketing, growth, sales, operations, and the office itself. Skydive is the tooling they built to do that, then sold.
That framing tells you the intended buyer: a company that wants to add capacity in functions where it would otherwise hire, and wants one place to govern the spending.
Who Skydive is not for
It is a team platform. The unit of value is a fleet of agents doing company work, with an admin watching the bill. If you are one person, the setup cost of naming roles, provisioning agents, and supervising a fleet is aimed at a problem you do not have.
The other thing to be clear-eyed about: agents with their own browsers, file systems, and terminals are powerful in exactly the way that requires review. Anything’s answer is central admin control. That is the right answer, and it is also a job somebody at your company now owns.
If what you want is your own inbox handled
Skydive and Carly are not substitutes, and it would be silly to pretend otherwise. Skydive is for standing up a fleet of AI coworkers across a company. Carly is an AI executive assistant for one person’s working life.
But a lot of people arrive at agent platforms carrying a much smaller problem than the platform solves. If the honest description of your situation is “my inbox is out of control and I keep losing meetings to scheduling ping-pong,” you do not need 150 agents with their own terminals. You need one assistant that handles email and calendar and does not stop when you close your laptop.
That is the job Carly does:
- triages your inbox and drafts or sends replies in your voice, across Gmail and Outlook, with multiple accounts of each connected at once
- books, reschedules, and confirms meetings, with free booking pages and group availability polls
- fires on real triggers, so work happens when the email arrives rather than when you next open an app
- connects to around 260 native apps across 45+ categories at carlyassistant.com/integrations, plus anything with a public API through your own key
- can be reached by email, text, or chat, with no console to learn
Free Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. Connecting Carly into ChatGPT or Claude through carlyassistant.com/mcp costs nothing.
The useful test is scale. If you are adding capacity to functions across a company, look at Skydive. If you are trying to get your own week back, start smaller. For the wider field, see the best AI personal assistants and the best AI executive assistants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Skydive?
Skydive is a platform from Anything for building AI coworkers: cloud agents that each have a name, a role, and their own computer with a browser, file system, and terminal. You talk to them in Slack, email, or iMessage. It launched publicly on August 20, 2026 after a closed beta with more than 20 companies.
How much does Skydive cost?
Signing up is free. Anything has not published a full pricing table, but administrators can manage usage and spending centrally, which points to consumption-based billing above the free entry point. Check with Anything for current terms before budgeting.
How is Skydive different from a workflow tool?
A workflow tool picks from predefined actions along a path you designed. A Skydive agent has a general-purpose computer and uses a browser, files, and a terminal the way a person would, which means it can handle work you did not map out in advance. That flexibility is the feature and also the reason central admin controls matter.
Is Skydive an alternative to an AI executive assistant?
Not really. Skydive builds fleets of agents doing company work under central governance. An AI executive assistant like Carly handles one person’s email, calendar, and scheduling and is reachable over email or text. If your problem is your own week rather than a company function, the assistant is the closer fit.
What models does Skydive support?
More than 170 frontier and open-weight models, so agents are not tied to a single provider.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
