<h3>Managed Cloud for AI Agents</h3>
BoxLite provides a managed cloud environment specifically designed for AI agents. It offers compute, networking, a domain, a filesystem, and a database, going beyond a simple sandbox. The platform utilizes hardware-isolated microVMs that boot in milliseconds, deployable on BoxLite's fleet or your own infrastructure.
<ul>
<li>Hardware-Isolated MicroVMs: Each box is a virtual machine with its own Linux kernel, offering robust isolation.</li>
<li>Fast Boot Times: MicroVMs boot in milliseconds, enabling rapid deployment and scaling.</li>
<li>Persistent Storage: Boxes come with a disk that survives restarts, retaining packages, files, and environment configurations.</li>
<li>Managed Volumes: Storage solutions that outlive the box, allowing data persistence across box lifecycles.</li>
<li>Public URLs: Easily publish your applications with a public URL for each service port, with options for outbound traffic allowlisting.</li>
<li>Flexible Pricing: Choose between pay-as-you-go or monthly plans with included usage allowances, plus a prepaid wallet for additional needs. Start with $100 in free credits.</li>
<li>Open Source Runtime: The core runtime is available under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing you to run it on your own machines without an account or data leaving your environment.</li>
</ul>
BoxLite is built for the agents people actually ship, supporting use cases such as running autonomous coding agents, building code interpreters for LLMs, reviewing untrusted pull requests, data analysis agents, and providing persistent shells for users.
