       | Hello, I'm the CEO of the company that built this - E2B [0].
       | We're building infrastructure for AI code interpreting. Companies
       | like Perplexity are using us.
       | 
       | We're using Firecrackers [1] to power our sandboxes. Funnily
       | enough, we had this repo sitting on our GitHub for about 6
       | months. We originally made this for one of our customers because
       | they were running evals on the desktop-like environment with GUI
       | for their model.
       | 
       | You can use PyAutoGUI [2] to control the whole environment
       | programmatically.
       | 
       | The desktop-like environment is based on Linux and Xfce [3] at
       | the moment. We chose Xfce because it's a fast and lightweight
       | environment that's also popular and actively supported. However,
       | this Sandbox template is fully customizable and you can create
       | your own desktop environment.
       | 
       | Let me know if you have any questions.
       | 
       | Btw, we're hiring [4]!

       | We are building a similar thing but with Windows environments. If
       | you need Windows, shoot me an email to victor+borg.games
       | 
       | No public SDK yet, but our client is a fork of old Parsec
       | codebase. It is relatively straightforward: you connect using
       | WebRTC, and send your actions over a datachannel.
