This is very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Ask HN: The new wave of AI agent sandboxes?

ATechGuy — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:51:38 +0000

In the last couple of months, several new solutions for sandboxing AI agents have launched (microVMs, WASM runtimes, browser isolation, hardened tool containers, etc.). Curious to hear from people using them in production. Are they working as advertised, or are there still major tradeoffs around security, cost, and performance?

Here's my list of sandboxing solutions launched in the last year alone: E2B, AIO Sandbox, Sandboxer, AgentSphere, Yolobox, Exe.dev, yolo-cage, SkillFS, ERA Jazzberry Computer, Vibekit, Daytona, Modal, Cognitora, YepCode, Run Compute, CLI Fence, Landrun, Sprites, pctx-sandbox, pctx Sandbox, Agent SDK, Lima-devbox, OpenServ, Browser Agent Playground, Flintlock Agent, Quickstart, Bouvet Sandbox, Arrakis, Cellmate (ceLLMate), AgentFence, Tasker, DenoSandbox, Capsule (WASM-based), Volant, Nono, NetFence

You built https://github.com/FootprintAI/Containarium for this purpose?

Ask HN: Is anyone tracking AI traffic to their site? Should we care?

ATechGuy — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:51:05 +0000

Lately we've been noticing a non-trivial amount of traffic in our logs that doesn't look like typical bots.

Not the usual noisy crawlers or obvious scrapers. The behavior is different with fewer hits, more selective page access.

Some of the user agents suggest AI crawlers, but some do not. How can we track these visitors?

Ask HN: Why) are you using AI to browse the web?

ATechGuy — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 20:06:11 +0000

[Posting again in hopes of gaining further perspectives and insights]

Do you still browse the web the same way you did (say 5 years ago) or you use AI to browse, summarize, etc. on websites? Is it about speed/efficiency, instant answers (gratification), or something else?

I've noticed I'm less willing to read long articles now that I can get instant summaries. I'm curious to understand if AI is saving us time or is it training us to avoid effort.

TBH, this looks like an LLM-assisted response.

+1. It is confusing.

And how are you going to define what ocaps/flows are needed when agent behavior is not defined?

Interesting. I'd appreciate an example. Thanks!

Would love to see performance numbers with nested virtualization, particularly that of IO-bound workloads.

> a website can expose functions like searchProducts(query, filters) or orderPrints(copies, page_size) with full parameter schemas

How would this not create backend load and abuse?

ATechGuy — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:35:49 +0000

That's a good start I'd say, but I agree with you that detection is not trivial. I wonder if there's enough value in distinguishing between AI agents (with full browser) and humans. What use cases would it enable?

ATechGuy — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:20:31 +0000

Yes, but how can you tell if it was an agent with full browser?

Thanks for your insights!

QQ: does uxwizz also show AI agents visiting websites? have you seen traffic from AI agents?

ATechGuy — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:45:33 +0000

There's a lot of talk about agentic systems that AI can take actions, run workflows, and operate autonomously. However, when I look at AI startups, most of them seem to be building dashboards: analytics panels, control screens, monitoring tools.

If the goal is autonomous agents, why are we still shipping dashboards? Is this a trust issue, a sales issue, or something deeper about how companies adopt new tech?

Curious what you think.
