Rove runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping.
Read public web pages and run goal-based browsing tasks with Rove's sandboxed browser agent.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Rove every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
