# Daytona

Daytona provides fast, isolated sandboxes built for the era of AI agents that write and run their own code. When an LLM or autonomous agent needs to execute generated code, install packages, browse a filesystem, or run a tool, Daytona spins up a secure, ephemeral environment in milliseconds — keeping that untrusted execution safely away from production systems and the host. Each sandbox is a full Linux environment with a programmatic API and SDK for creating, snapshotting, and tearing down workspaces on demand, so platforms can give every agent or user session its own clean, disposable machine. It supports persistent volumes, snapshots for instant warm starts, and fine-grained resource limits, making it practical to run thousands of concurrent sandboxes cost-effectively. Daytona targets developers building AI coding agents, code-interpreter features, data-analysis assistants, and any product that needs to run model-generated code reliably and securely at scale.
