Sidebox

Docker Sandboxes is a Docker-developed proprietary tool for running AI coding agents and other workloads inside isolated microVMs on a local machine or Docker-managed cloud infrastructure. Each sandbox has its own kernel and filesystem, controls access to the host filesystem, network, and tools, provides a private Docker daemon for test containers, uses secret placeholders, blocks network access by default, and records an audit trail. It supports agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode, with configurable network and filesystem rules, read-only mounts, MCP catalogs, and policy-based governance controls. It is distributed as the `sbx` command-line tool for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with stable, release-candidate, and nightly builds.

Agent S is an open-source computer-use agent framework from Simular. It accepts natural-language tasks, observes a real desktop through screen and accessibility signals, and operates ordinary applications by clicking, typing, scrolling, and executing optional local code rather than relying on per-application APIs or scripts. The project has progressed through three generations: accessibility-tree grounding with an LLM, a vision-based manager-worker architecture using multiple foundation models, and Agent S3, which scales computer-use attempts through parallel rollouts and selection. Its workflow can combine model-driven exploration with reusable automation code, replay saved skills, and recover when the interface changes. The framework supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, works with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, vLLM, and open-weight providers, and is distributed through the `gui-agents` Python package. An optional local coding environment can execute Python and Bash with the current user's permissions, so the repository warns that this capability should be used only in trusted environments.

SAPI is Simular's API and command-line tooling for programmatically controlling its cloud computers. The video describes it as exposing the capabilities available in Simular's web portal through terminal commands and an API, so developers can integrate cloud-computer control into their own products and workflows.

sbx is Docker's command-line tool for building containers used as sandboxes for AI agents. It is presented as part of Docker's sandboxing approach for controlling what agents can access while they run, and can be installed with Homebrew.

AgentSky is a cloud API platform that lets developers run and manage multiple coding agents (for example, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Pi) through a single endpoint. It is intended to let users start agents or integrate agents into their products.
