How Bonsai Pods Work
A dedicated server with an AI operator that never sleeps — provisioned, configured, and tended for you.
Four Steps to Launch
1
We Provision Your Pod
We spin up a dedicated VPS just for you — not shared, not multi-tenant. Your own server, your own environment, your own data.
2
Sensei Is Installed
Your AI operator (Sensei) is deployed and configured to your specifications. It connects to Discord so you have real-time visibility into everything it does.
3
Connect Your Tools
Link your codebase, services, and workflows. Sensei integrates with your existing stack — GitHub, APIs, databases, content platforms, and more.
4
Sensei Starts Working
Your AI operator begins tending your Pod 24/7 — monitoring systems, proposing improvements, executing approved tasks, and learning your preferences over time.
