Buddy Sandboxes give AI coding agents their own isolated Linux machines to build, run, test, and fix apps without touching your local setup. Each Sandbox has a persistent disk, root access, Docker, SSH, and a public URL. Create one per task, branch, or PR, then let your agents manage it through MCP, CLI, SDK, or API.
Hi Product Hunt!
Coding agents can write code, but running it safely and reliably is another story. Give them access to your laptop and they can interfere with your setup. Put them in a disposable environment and they have to start from scratch every time.
Buddy Sandboxes give each agent its own isolated Linux machine. They can install dependencies, run databases, build apps, execute tests, and actually open the result through a public URL.
The environment persists between sessions, including files, packages, and build caches. You also get root access, Docker, SSH, and a public URL.
You can create a Sandbox per task, branch, or PR, and manage them through MCP, CLI, SDK, or API.
Curious how people here are running coding agents today. On your own machine, in containers, or in dedicated environments?
