Sandboxes for computer use

A computer-use agent looks at a screen and controls a mouse and a keyboard, so it needs a sandbox with a graphical desktop. 31 sandbox providers listed here offer a desktop, including Agent37 Cloud, Lizard Sandboxes and boat.

What a computer-use agent needs

Four things to look for in the table below

  • A desktop

    The sandbox must run a graphical session that the agent can see and click in.

  • Long sessions

    Clicking through programs is slow. Look at the session limit.

  • Snapshots

    Start each task from the same logged-in, prepared machine.

  • Enough memory

    A browser and a desktop need more memory than a script. Look at the largest sandbox.
