aren't you boxmaxxing yet? box new box desktop current <open desktop, login on X> box ssh current ~: box prompt self --provider codex "use desktop to tweet: 'use box.ascii.dev the simplest and cheapest sandboxes for agents'"

oops sorry Dedalus Labs, box📦by @asciidotdev is 6x less expensive than you at $20

i think they'd regain more soul if they shitposted their way into selling AI sandboxes at box.ascii.dev like I am guys, the offer is on the table

we spent the last 3 weeks silently optimizing our docker bun postgres backend infra and our pool of VMs for box we're still running the central orchestration on a 50$/month bare metal instance in Europe but everything spins up so fast even from the US where I am rn

i'm literally discovering services to use through my own advertisers, this is kind of awesome. box.ascii.dev/

should have used box according to benchmarks a third party team ran for us, box allows agents to 1-shot a Devin clone with 10% less steps needed, and no errors unlike on Daytona all of that, for a 3x smaller sandbox bill, while building and 9x smaller bill while using

just pitched box📦on stage at ETHConf NYC

Thanks to our wonderful sponsors!❤️ @asciidotdev, telli.com and Project A

some teams that use ascii box dont use github. So we introduced new auth methods to simplify their life now you can auth with google or just email. I measured, our onboarding in average takes less than 50 seconds. simple, fast, box.

I made an MMO rendering in the terminal a sort of relaxing social game to play while agents run 8 ppl already hang out in there while their coding agents run it's live join us :D

I want my 20k @asciidotdev

needed a game to zone out when my agents are working so I made a multiplayer 3D earth in the terminal it's live at world.ascii.dev join us :D

if you're building personal assistants there is arguably no better sandbox to use than box why? - consumers want to try for free, your costs need to be low. we're the cheapest sandbox by 5x to 25x - we have a desktop computer use model that your agent can call, anything can be done: agent that goes on the desktop, browses social media - we have an android emulator pre installed if you want to imagine crazy usecases - we can host stuff on sandbox with default token gating so its easy to make private artifacts

why you should send us unsolicited term sheets: 1. the founders care: *even the cancel plan button is animated* 2. the founders are delusional: *we forgot the cancel plan button until a user asked for it* 3. the founders are always grinding: *CEO shipped the cancel plan within 30 min of being asked by customer, while dining at a founder event, by sending a voice memo to his cloud CTO agent on telegram*

great launch replica! box by @asciidotdev is nearly at feature parity with replica and 6x (monthly sub) to 26x (meter based) cheaper

you can just fork boxes

all we've shipped in box📦in 1 week after launch to make it the best AI sandbox ever: > TS & Py SDKs > OpenAPI & API keys > way shorter cold starts > new useful docs pages > VNC fallback to 60fps desktop stream > CLI ergonomy revamp now time for you to ship with box

in 2026, no need for an infra hire to give your agents the best env just run: > box new a few sec later you get a full linux VM in the cloud for agents, with sudo, desktop at 60fps, chrome, ssh, most prog. languages, docker, android emulator, claude/codex $1 = 1 VM for 27hrs

holy lobster opened stripe this morning saw that peter, the creator of openclaw, played a bit with our sandbox product for agents: box 📦 that's huge should I ask for his precious feedback by DM or email? afraid the goat is spammed too much to see

you'd think i'm not creating any shareholder value atm and you'd be right but thankfully my clankers running on box.ascii.dev sandboxes are

box is the most powerful sandbox tech for agents why do we know that? 1. it comes with so many tools that take weeks to get right on other providers, as you can see on video: an agent on a box.ascii.dev sandbox ran a fullstack real-time chat app based on Docker and Django, no struggle, then QAed it across Android and Chrome with desktop use, made a PR with the fix to a bug it found, and recorded a video to prove it works. all out of the box, no custom image or setup, just codex running on it a repo our pre-installed tools and skills what other agentic products, or god forbid any sandbox product, offers such capabilities, either in theory or after a hefty enterprise contract and weeks of building on top? 2. because it's been slow cooked with care by a constrained team we spent 8 months building cloud coding agents tech, and more recently the ultimate CTO/orchestrator agent @asciidotdev that's how box is born, internally, from our own frustration with existing providers, trying to make infra that works for the most ambitious f* up usecases (QA, running ANY code project, hosting anything, scrapping...) we spent hundreds of days fixing bugs, patching holes, stabilizing the infra, and adding capabilities few can replicate (maybe Devin or Cursor come close?) as a team of 2 fresh grads, from Europe, paid minimum. up against huge senior big VP/CTO level teams in the US, paid millions the added benefit of all this is that it's also the most affordable sandbox, we don't need huge margins to sustain ourselves in the next few months, sandboxes will become a near-the-consumer commodity. We bet that other teams won't survive how much we'll cut the cost and complexity already well funded teams come to us and ask "how can each user get a couple long running agents with stateful laptop-level powerful sandbox for 1$/month cost" we're the only ones who can already give answers
