Lowkey is an open-source tool that deploys AI coding agents directly into your AWS account. Unlike cloud-based AI tools that run on someone else’s servers, Lowkey gives you a 24/7 agent that lives inside your own AWS infrastructure — coding, deploying, monitoring, and debugging while you sleep.

Quick Start

Deploy your first agent in ~10 minutes with a single curl command.

Core Concepts

Understand packs, profiles, deploy methods, and how they fit together.

Agent Packs

Compare OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kiro, and more.

Profiles

Choose the right IAM permission level for your use case.

​
What Lowkey does

Lowkey provisions an EC2 instance in your AWS account and installs an AI coding agent on it. The agent connects to Amazon Bedrock (or OpenAI/Kiro for those packs) for inference, and uses your account’s IAM role for AWS access. You interact with it via terminal, Telegram, Discord, or Slack.

Always-on operation

Your agent runs 24/7. Start a build Tuesday, continue Thursday — it remembers everything.

Your data, your account

No code or config leaves your AWS account. Inference is via Amazon Bedrock under its data privacy policy.

Real AWS infrastructure

Agents build using CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, and standard AWS services — not proprietary runtimes.

Multi-channel access

Connect via Telegram, Discord, Slack, or SSM terminal from any device.

​
Get started in three steps

1

Run the installer

curl -sfL install.lowkey.run | bash
The installer walks you through choosing an agent pack, permission profile, and deploy method. Works in bash, zsh, and AWS CloudShell.
2

Run essential bootstraps

After connecting to your agent, paste this into the chat to configure skills, memory, and best practices:
Lowkey please bootstrap yourself based on this url https://github.com/inceptionstack/lowkey/tree/main/bootstraps/essential
3

Start building

Ask your agent to build something. It designs the architecture, writes the code, sets up CI/CD, and deploys — all inside your AWS account.
Deploy Lowkey in a dedicated sandbox AWS account. The builder profile grants AdministratorAccess — LLMs make mistakes, and a sandbox limits the blast radius. See Risks before deploying.
