Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use boxes.dev to provide dedicated cloud Linux environments for your Claude Code and Codex coding agents. Instead of running agents locally, it creates isolated virtual machines with your project files, databases, and dependencies preinstalled. You can trigger tasks directly from Slack, Linear, schedules, or API calls, and monitor agent progress from your desktop, mobile phone, or terminal. When agents finish or go idle, the machines sleep automatically to save compute costs while allowing you to pick up work anytime.
