From 2afdaee4b73dadd39616bb8186ef595dab826b67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prakash Sundaresan Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 23:38:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(station): correct the open-source claim and adopt the approved positioning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The page said "Station runs on Defang's cloud. It is open source, so you can also run it on your own infrastructure." That is not accurate: DefangLabs/station is a private repository with no LICENSE. The open-source, self-hostable artefact is Agent Box (defangdevs/agent-box, MIT), which Station is built on. The page now says so, under its own heading, so the self-host path is still findable. Also brings the page in line with the positioning merged in station ADR-0009 and defang-global's constitution 1.2.0: - Leads with the tagline "Bring your agent. Run it anywhere." - Describes what Station actually is — Claude Code or Codex on an always-on machine, connected to the customer's own Anthropic or OpenAI account — rather than a generic "persistent cloud workspace". - Drops "keeps running when you close your laptop", retired copy per strategy/language-style-guide.md: it sells absence, while customers value being able to reach and direct the agent. - Names the Deploy handoff concretely: dev, staging or production on the provider you choose. --- docs/station/station.mdx | 26 ++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/station/station.mdx b/docs/station/station.mdx index 0306cc7a4..f0f79d0b9 100644 --- a/docs/station/station.mdx +++ b/docs/station/station.mdx @@ -1,18 +1,20 @@ --- sidebar_position: 1 title: Defang Station -description: Defang Station is a persistent cloud workspace for AI coding agents. +description: Defang Station gives your coding agent an always-on machine you can reach from any browser. --- # Defang Station -Defang Station is a persistent cloud workspace for AI coding agents.
