AI agents perform real work on our behalf: editing files, running code, and carrying out multi-step tasks over hours or days. This often requires access to private information, which makes where an agent runs matter more than how smart the model is.

Sandboxes keep agents secure, letting them access the tools and files they need to complete these tasks, while keeping sensitive information protected. 

When building our agent platform Computer, we explored off-the-shelf sandbox options. Every option required us to consider tradeoffs between functionality, efficiency, and security. Perplexity Computer needed all three, so we built an entirely new type of sandbox.

Today, we’re introducing SPACE, a sandbox platform designed to unlock Computer’s full power while providing the highest level of security for advanced agentic systems. — Read More
