# How to Run AI Coding Agents 24/7 With a VPS

▶

Tech With Tim explains why running an AI coding agent around the clock takes more than your own machine: because the agent uses your local environment to run terminal commands and edit files, your computer has to stay awake and online — and any sleep, restart, or dropped connection loses the work in progress. His fix is to move long-running and scheduled agent tasks onto a VPS (virtual private server) you can delegate to instead. This summary covers the video's setup framing; watch the full video for the step-by-step server walkthrough.
