AI Agent Sandboxes: Exploring Fast, No-Setup Environments for LLM Development

Hi HN, we built PaperPod: agent-native sandboxes for code execution, live URLs, browser automation, LLM inference, persistent memory, with 50+ built-in tools (ffmpeg, sqlite, etc.) - all via our CLI tool or HTTP endpoints. The problem: Existing infra tools require SDK setup, API keys, or clicking through UIs, things agents can't do well. What we built: On-demand sandboxes accessible via our CLI or HTTP endpoints. Try it right now with any coding agent: npm install -g @paperpod/cli ppod login [email protected] ppod help What's included: - Code execution (Python, JS, shell) - Live preview URLs - Persistent memory (10MB, survives restarts) - LLM Inference - Browser automation (screenshots, PDFs, scraping via Playwright) - 50+ tools (ffmpeg, sqlite, git, pandoc, imagemagick) $5 free credits on signup (~14 hours), no credit card required. Built on Cloudflare Containers. Quick Demo with OpenClaw: https://youtube.com/shorts/gTbyz26mPxk?feature=share What would make this more useful for your agent workflows?
