Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Rig gives each AI coding agent its own cloud desktop with code, dev server, tests, and signed-in Chrome, so your laptop stays fast while running multiple agents. It leverages E2B for ephemeral desktops that sleep when idle and wake in ~2 seconds, with features like cookie syncing, MCP integration, and remote screen control.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, devops, AI engineers
