What is an AI sandbox?
An AI sandbox is an isolated computing environment where an AI agent can run code, browse the web, and use tools safely - separated from other users and systems.
Giving an AI real capabilities - running code, accessing files, browsing - also means containing it. A sandbox is a dedicated, isolated environment so the agent's actions and your data stay separate from everyone else's.
Sandboxes make 'an AI with its own computer' practical and secure: each user gets their own environment, credentials, and memory, with nothing shared between accounts.
how this works in folk
Every folk user gets their own isolated sandbox - its own cloud computer, credentials, and memory. Your data never mixes with anyone else's, and folk never trains on it.
frequently asked
Why does an AI need a sandbox?
To take real actions safely. A sandbox isolates each agent so it can run code and use tools without risking other users' data or systems.
Is my data isolated in folk's sandbox?
Yes. Each user's sandbox is fully isolated, with its own credentials and memory, and your data is never used to train models.
