Hello all,

We have built instant computers for AI Agents.

Cybersecurity world is abuzz with Shai-Huluds and Copy-Fail like attacks. The effect gets multiplied when you take into account the amount AI agents getting created and deployed in production.

InstaVM is cloud infrastructure for AI agents. It gives every agent a real computer to use with strong isolation guarantee.

Along with fast hardware-isolated VMs, persistent volumes, secrets injected on the fly, controlled egress, and live debugging for agents to run safely in production.

But what we have built is not just a sandbox. And sandboxes are not enough on its own to get a useful AI agent:

  • Agents need a VM that is fast (quick to spin, snapshot, terminate), secure, and can install any dependency without restrictions (a computer with sudo).
  • Volumes are needed for long-term memory that outlives ephemeral sandboxes and can reattach to another run.
  • Secrets cannot live on the same plane as the VM due to prompt injection risk. This is new to the agent deployment pattern.
  • Network egress needs to be controlled to prevent agents from calling domains they should not.
  • Granular observability of state changes (filesystem, network, execution) for debugging, audit, and compliance.

Do not miss our CLI! (pip install instavm / npm install instavm)

I am a huge fan and user of InstaVM. After having worked with other similar products the speed at which their sandbox starts is unlike any other solution and would recommend this to no end 🔥
