Persistent Ubuntu cloud VMs built for AI agent factories
Each sandbox is a complete Ubuntu machine with systemd, Docker, databases, and cron, so anything that runs on Linux runs here.
Clone a configured sandbox from a disk snapshot in seconds to launch large fleets of identical parallel agents.
Connect over SSH and SCP or open a 60fps virtual desktop and browser to inspect web apps, IDEs, and 3D scenes.
Drive everything programmatically through the boat CLI (with --json output), an HTTP API, or Python and TypeScript SDKs.

Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
