    I built Magic Sandbox, an AI app platform where your AI assistant can directly interact with Magic Sandbox apps published by the community. Check out the demo video to see it in action: https://www.loom.com/share/4a1d4aee83a5485197898f537e1cb397 Or head to https://magicsandbox.ai to go through the onboarding tutorial. Originally I set out to build a monetized version of OpenAI’s custom GPTs, where developers would earn money when users used their custom GPT. Eventually this evolved into a platform for AI powered apps, which expose not only context and…

    Just watched this video by ThePrimeagen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efwDZw7l2Nk) about attackers jailbreaking Claude to run cyber attacks. The core issue: AI agents need isolation. We built ERA to fix this – local microVM-based sandboxing for AI-generated code with hardware-level security. Think containers, but safer. Such attacks wouldn't touch your host if running in ERA. GitHub: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA Quick start: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA/tree/main/era-agent/tutoria... Would love your…

    Hi HN, We are building Sanbox, a platform for running AI agents in isolated and resumable sandboxes. We use the OpenCode SDK as the harness, support reusable templates, and have a CLI that works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, CI, or your terminal. Each sandbox has MicroVM isolation, a persistent filesystem, and live trail of run events. Can also self-host if required for security/compliance. It's on the roadmap to add network ACL, secrets managements, LLM cost tracking & observability. We are also happy to build custom integrations or triggers for specific use cases. For example,…

    We’ve been working with automating coding agents in sandboxes as of late. It’s bewildering how poorly standardized and difficult to use each agent varies between each other. We open-sourced the Sandbox Agent SDK based on tools we built internally to solve 3 problems: 1. Universal agent API: interact with any coding agent using the same API 2. Running agents inside the sandbox: Agent Sandbox provides a Rust binary that serves the universal agent API over HTTP, instead of having to futz with undocumented interfaces 3. Universal session schema: persisting sessions is always problematic, since…

    Hey everyone, We're excited to introduce MarinaBox, an open-source toolkit for creating isolated desktop/browser sandboxes tailored for AI agents. Over the past few months, we've worked on various projects involving: 1. AI agents interacting with computers (think Claude computer-use scenarios). 2. Browser automation for AI agents using tools like Playwright and Selenium. 3. Applications that need a live-session view to monitor AI agents' actions, with the ability for human-in-the-loop intervention. What we learned: All these scenarios share a common need for robust infrastructure. So,…
