Boxes

What is Boxes?

Boxes is an innovative cloud development environment designed specifically for agentic coding. It allows users to run each instance of Claude Code or Codex on its own dedicated cloud computer, enabling seamless coding from any location, whether on mobile or desktop. The platform provides a unique environment where every coding agent operates independently, offering full Linux capabilities, isolation, and persistent sessions that enhance productivity and flexibility in software development.

How to use Boxes?

1. Move the project into a cloud devbox. Select the local folder containing your codebase. Boxes scans your environment and creates a setup plan for approval, then a coding agent sets up your environment in the cloud.
2. Run each task on its own computer. Start a new machine for each task by forking the primary VM's filesystem, allowing each agent to operate independently without the need for additional setup.
3. Review, steer, and ship from anywhere. Manage your coding tasks remotely by reading threads, browsing diffs, and approving requests. Test and commit changes as needed.

What are the main features of Boxes?

• Full cloud computers for each agent: Every agent is allocated a complete Linux environment, ensuring full functionality and isolation.
• Parallel agent management: Users can run multiple agents simultaneously without resource constraints.
• Persistent sessions: Agents continue running in the cloud even when the user is offline, allowing for uninterrupted work.
• Mobile and desktop control: Users can manage their coding environments from any device, including smartphones and tablets.
• Integrated tools for collaboration: Features like file viewers, diff modes, and inline comments facilitate teamwork and code reviews.

Who is Boxes for?

Boxes is tailored for software developers, teams, and organizations that utilize AI-driven coding tools like Claude Code and Codex. It is ideal for professionals who require a flexible, powerful, and collaborative coding environment that can be accessed from various devices. Additionally, it caters to teams looking for a managed cloud solution that enhances their development workflow while providing robust control and security features.

What are the use cases of Boxes?

1. Remote coding and collaboration: Teams can work together on coding projects from different locations, utilizing the cloud to manage and share their environments.
2. Task isolation: Developers can run multiple coding tasks independently, ensuring that changes do not interfere with one another, which is especially useful for large projects.
3. Continuous integration and deployment: Automate workflows by scheduling tasks and integrating with other tools, streamlining the process of code deployment and updates.
