About

The compute substrate for AI agents — light enough to embed on your laptop, elastic enough to power an agentic cloud.

A Box is a hardware-isolated micro-VM that runs any OCI image — and it persists. Agents install packages, write files, and resume across turns, never from cold.

One engine. Embed it, run it, deploy it, distribute it.

Import BoxLite and give your agent an isolated VM to run code — no daemon, no binary. (Python 3.10+)

Other languages — Node.js, Go, Rust (and the C SDK)

Node.js (npm install @boxlite-ai/boxlite, Node 18+)

Go (go get github.com/boxlite-ai/boxlite/sdks/go, Go 1.24+ with CGO)

Rust (cargo add boxlite tokio futures --features tokio/macros,tokio/rt-multi-thread)
