  1. What is a sandbox?

    6 min

    Start with the mental model, so every command after it has somewhere to land.

  2. Run your first AI agent in a Docker Sandbox

    15 min

    Run a real agent on your own project, and push on each wall of the sandbox yourself.

  3. Customize your sandbox with kits

    12 min

    Change what's in the box, from the tools the agent has to the agent itself, without building anything.

  4. Define and share your sandbox environment

    12 min

    Turn the setup you've built into a file that anyone can run to get the same sandbox.

  5. Integrating sandboxes into native apps

    Optional · 12 min

    An optional extra if you'd rather drive the agent from the desktop app you already use.
