BoxLite

The AI agent infrastructure company. Building the backbone for the next billion users.

BoxLite

Secure, lightweight micro-VM sandboxes for AI agents.

We build sandbox infrastructure that lets AI agents run untrusted code safely — hardware-isolated, sub-second boot, zero-daemon.

Repositories

  • BoxLite — Embedded micro-VM sandbox runtime. Lightweight, hardware-isolated, OCI-compatible. SDKs for Python, Node.js, Rust, and C.
  • BoxRun — Sandbox management platform. REST API, CLI, web dashboard, single-binary deployment. Powered by BoxLite.

Quick Start

BoxLite — embed in your app:

pip install boxlite
import asyncio
from boxlite import SimpleBox

async def main():
    async with SimpleBox("python:slim") as box:
        result = await box.run("echo 'Hello from a micro-VM!'")
        print(result.stdout)

asyncio.run(main())

BoxRun — platform:

boxrun shell ubuntu

Highlights

  • Sub-second boot — micro-VMs start in milliseconds, not minutes
  • Hardware isolation — each sandbox has its own kernel (KVM / Hypervisor.framework)
  • OCI compatible — use any Docker image (python:slim, node:alpine, ubuntu, etc.)
  • No daemon — BoxLite links as a library; BoxRun ships as a single binary
  • Async-first — designed for high concurrency with streaming I/O
