**Problem** Humans used to need laptops to do their work. Now they prompt agents instead, and those agents need computers too: always-on, in large quantities, and with unlimited capabilities. Building and maintaining that yourself is far from trivial. **Solution** Box provides powerful, simple, permissive Ubuntu VMs in the cloud. In a box, an agent can work for long periods on code or on knowledge work like legal, research, reporting, and auditing. **Why Box and not any other cloud VM?** 1. It is ready out of the box: every box ships with a desktop, chrome, languages, docker, snapshots, and templates, plus a CLI, SDK, API, and control pane for your fleet. 2. It is permissive and paradigm agnostic: any number of agents can use any number of boxes. Agents can run inside or use boxes as an external tool. 3. It is expertly crafted: we manage everything from the individual CPU to the orchestration software, which makes boxes stable, persistent, scalable, and secure. 4. It is the best performance and price in town: our CPUs rank first on HPC benchmarks, and boxes are typically 9x to 18x cheaper than other leading sandboxes. **Further notes** Boxes are hosted in Europe, which keeps prices low, and more regions are coming. Unless compliance requires it, agents don't notice the region they run in.
