Sandboxer: cloud sandboxes for AI agents
Sandboxer gives every AI agent, or person, its own isolated Linux computer in the cloud. Each sandbox is an Ubuntu microVM with root access, Docker and nested virtualization. It starts in a fraction of a second, can be paused with its memory intact and resumed later, and can be forked into copies. Usage is billed per second.
Teams use it to run coding agents, to run many agents in parallel, to execute untrusted or AI-generated code safely, and to run evaluations and tests in clean environments. Agents can drive it directly through SDKs, a CLI, a REST API or a hosted MCP server.
Transformer: the agentic influencer marketplace
Real creators, paid on verified posts. Run it from the dashboard or from your agent.
Transformer connects brands with creators. A brand, or the brand's AI agent, finds creators, sends offers and pays only once a post is verified as live. Each post's clicks and sales are tracked, so the brand knows what it bought. Creators keep 80% of every deal. Brands can also generate their own AI influencers.
It is built for builders who can ship a product but need distribution. Everything in the dashboard is also available over an API, a CLI and an MCP server, so a founder's own agent can run a creator campaign.
Flagger.gg: feature flags for AI agents
Your agents create, flip and roll back flags through MCP, the CLI and SDKs. Every change has guardrails and an audit trail, and humans approve.
Flagger.gg is a hosted service built from the flag system that runs Sandboxer and Transformer in production. Apps check flags with the Go and Node SDKs, agents work through MCP and the CLI, and teams choose auto-live, where agents' changes apply at once, or approvals, where a person signs off on wider rollouts in the Release console. There is no public pricing yet.
What do the companies have in common?
Both are built for a world where AI agents do real work. Sandboxer gives agents a safe place to compute. Transformer gives agents a way to buy distribution. Flagger.gg lets agents ship changes safely behind feature flags. Each can be used end to end without a person clicking through a website, and each keeps a person in control of spending and approvals.
They also share the studio's foundations: one legal entity, shared infrastructure for email, hosting and payments, and the same release discipline. See how we build.
