Per-task isolated sandbox for AI agents
A lightweight VM with its own kernel per agent task, reusing OCI images
- Problem
- More agents run code, and every task needs an isolated environment—but Docker's daemon, image bloat and memory pressure add up; one comparison found Docker shared storage at 363MB while lighter options cut it sharply. Developers want isolation without a daemon, on-demand, with low overhead.
- Solution
- A CLI tool that spins up a lightweight VM with its own Linux kernel per agent task from one command, reusing OCI images and familiar commands (run/build/exec) without a Docker daemon. Compression pool plus on-demand image reads keeps disk and memory low.
- Users
- Developers running multi-task AI agents and teams doing agent evaluation or automation
- MVP
- One-command lightweight VM with independent kernel; OCI image run/exec support; no daemon required; image compression and on-demand reads; basic resource comparison report
- Revenue
- Open-core plus enterprise features (team image pool, audit logs, multi-tenant quotas), or subscription by concurrent instances
- Why now
- Agent code execution is exploding, but Docker is heavy and cloud sandboxes are pricey; an indie can ship a usable CLI on top of lightweight virtualization in about two weeks
