E2B Desktop is an open-source sandboxed virtual desktop environment designed to enable secure “computer use” by large language models and automated agents. The platform provides isolated virtual machines where applications can be executed safely without affecting the host system. Each sandbox runs independently and can be configured with custom dependencies or tools required by an AI agent or automation workflow. The system allows developers to programmatically create and control these virtual desktops through SDKs available in languages such as Python and JavaScript. Within a sandbox, developers can launch applications like browsers, editors, or other software that an AI agent may need to interact with. This approach is particularly useful for building AI agents capable of interacting with graphical environments or performing tasks such as browsing, testing software, or automating workflows.
