box is a cheap, powerful Linux VM sandbox for AI agents — a persistent Ubuntu machine with SSH, Docker, a virtual desktop, and fast snapshot forking.

Key features

  • Persistent Linux VM per Agent: Each box is a real Ubuntu virtual machine with SSH and SCP access, not a stubbed or ephemeral container.
  • Dedicated IPv4 Address: Every machine gets its own public IPv4, so outbound traffic and network-scoped tools behave like a real server.
  • 60fps Virtual Desktop: A high-framerate virtual desktop lets vision-enabled agents interact with GUI apps and browsers naturally.
  • Disk-Level Snapshot Forking: Fork a machine from a snapshot in seconds so agents can branch execution and discard failed paths cheaply.
  • Docker-in-Box: Docker runs inside the VM, so agents can build and run containerized workflows without a nested-host bailout.
  • Preloaded Agent Toolkit: Ships with Docker, VS Code, Chrome, Ghostty, GitHub CLI, Rust, Node.js, and Bun preinstalled.
  • Cross-Platform CLI: A single install command (curl or PowerShell) drops a fetch-friendly CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows for both agents and humans.

Best for

  • Agent Factories: Spin up thousands of isolated Linux sandboxes as the substrate for a fleet of autonomous agents.
  • Coding Agent Environments: Give a coding agent a real machine to clone repos, run tests, and open a browser during work.
  • Browser Automation with Vision: Run a full Chrome instance on the virtual desktop so a vision agent can drive real web UIs.
  • Task Branching: Snapshot a VM before a risky action, fork to try alternatives, and merge back the winning path.
  • Reproducible Bug Repros: Fork a known-good snapshot to reproduce a bug in an identical environment on demand.
  • Human + Agent Shared Workspace: A human developer SSHes into the same box an agent is working in for pair debugging.

AI visibility platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews cite your brand, and ships fixes.

Key features

  • AI Citation Tracking: Continuously samples roughly 50,000 prompts per week across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to record where and how a brand is cited.
  • Per-Engine Visibility Scoring: Reports a composite AI Visibility score plus share of voice and prompts won or lost, broken out engine by engine so declines can be traced to a specific model.
  • Prompts & Citations Explorer: Lets teams open any tracked prompt and read the actual model answer to see which competitor was named and why.
  • Brand Entity Analysis: Maps the adjectives each engine associates with your brand versus competitors and suggests reframing plays to change that portrait.
  • Competitor Intelligence: Tracks rival citation share on comparison and 'alternatives to' prompts, highlighting categories where a competitor dominates.
  • Prioritized Action Plan: Converts findings into P0/P1 recommendations such as schema additions or comparison pages, each with a time estimate and projected score gain.
  • Site Audit for AI Parseability: Audits pages for missing entity definitions, structured Q&A data and other signals that prevent models from citing the site correctly.
  • White-Label Reporting and API: Higher tiers add white-label client reports, SSO/SAML and API access for agencies managing multiple brands.

Best for

  • AI Search Monitoring: Marketing teams track whether ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend their product or a competitor on high-intent category prompts.
  • Competitive Benchmarking: Brands quantify how much citation share a named rival is capturing on 'alternatives to' and 'best of' queries.
  • Content Prioritization: Content teams decide which pages to write or refresh based on which prompts are currently missed rather than on keyword volume alone.
  • Technical AEO Audits: SEO specialists find pages lacking FAQ schema or entity markers that keep answer engines from parsing them.
  • Agency Client Reporting: Agencies run pooled prompt tracking across multiple client workspaces and deliver white-label AI visibility reports.
  • Executive Reporting: Operators present a weekly digest showing search clicks alongside AI citation share to explain traffic shifts leadership sees.
