Cloud development environments with AI help and agent-ready devboxes
CodeSandbox provides cloud development environments rather than a single AI feature. You spin up a sandbox or a fuller devbox from a template or a git repository, edit in the browser or connect a local editor, and share a running URL with anyone. The platform has added AI assistance for generating and changing code inside a sandbox, and its devboxes are deliberately shaped for AI agents that need an isolated machine to work in. The differentiator is collaboration and reproducibility: the environment, its dependencies and its preview are all defined in the cloud, so everyone sees the same thing.

A devbox is a fuller cloud environment than a quick sandbox: more compute, a real repository checkout and long-running processes. They are used for sustained development and, increasingly, for running AI agents in isolation.
Yes, there is AI assistance for generating and modifying code inside a sandbox. It is a convenience layer on top of the cloud environment rather than a full autonomous agent like a dedicated coding tool.
Yes. You can work in the browser IDE or connect a local editor to the cloud environment, which keeps the reproducible setup while letting you keep familiar tooling and shortcuts.
