Stop shipping code the old way

Work starts as a conversation, runs in a secure disposable sandbox in your own cloud, and lands as a reviewed pull request. DevSandboxed makes that the way your whole company ships — from the CEO to the newest engineer.

How it works
01 · OFF THE LAPTOP

Start from anywhere

A chat message from your phone, a meeting, the couch. The sandbox in your cloud is the dev machine — nobody installs anything, ever.

02 · IN THE OPEN

Watch it work — on your real app

The run is a conversation in the thread, not a black box on someone's screen — and it's your actual app, running on your code in your own cloud. Nothing to deploy, nothing to set up. Read it, steer it, question it, live.

03 · ON THE RECORD

A PR you can verify

The output isn't a claim — it's a pull request with its conversation attached, plus a live preview link: open the running app in your browser and click through the change before it merges. Then the sandbox is gone.

What you get

One shared way to build with AI —
on your infra, under your control.

AI coding is happening at your company either way — today it's scattered across personal tools, invisible spend, and work you can't see or reuse. DevSandboxed turns it into a team capability: secure on your own infrastructure, cost-controlled, and shared by everyone from the CEO to the newest engineer.

💡 The conversation is the new IP

Code is the output. The real asset is your team's intent, decisions, and validation — the conversation that produced it. Here that asset is captured in your threads and stays in-house, instead of evaporating in personal AI tabs.

→ your judgment, captured in-house

🔍 Review PRs at scale — without drowning

AI multiplies pull requests until review becomes the bottleneck — the biggest unsolved problem in AI-assisted engineering. Here every PR arrives with its conversation attached: the intent, the decisions, the validation. Reviewers see the why, not just the diff — and the practices for handling the volume come with the product.

→ review the why, not just the diff

🔄 Transition to AI-first work

Becoming AI-first doesn't happen by buying licenses — it happens by changing how work flows through the team. Start with routine tasks, grow into whole workflows, and learn what to delegate and what to keep human — with an experienced AI-focused engineer guiding the shift.

→ AI-first, one workflow at a time

🙌 Anyone can ship — engineers keep the gate

Starting work takes one chat message, not a dev environment — founders, PMs, and support leads can hand real tasks to an agent and watch them get done. And nothing lands without review: every run ends as a pull request your engineers approve. Everyone gains the power; nobody loses the quality bar.

→ everyone ships, engineers approve

🔀 Never hostage to one AI vendor

Claude Code, Codex, opencode — the agent and the model are swappable parts, not the foundation. Switching a model or a harness has never been easier: a better model drops, adopt it in minutes; your provider has an outage, switch and keep shipping while competitors wait it out. The workflow — and your team's habits — don't change.

→ best model today, a better one tomorrow

🔒 Secure — runs on your own infra

Everything runs inside your own cloud account, within your existing security boundary. Code, secrets, and customer data never touch a third party — the answer to "where does our code go?" is nowhere. Your security team doesn't have to trust a new vendor, because there isn't one in the data path.

→ your code goes nowhere

🎛️ Costs you control — no surprises

You decide what runs, when, and for how long; environments shut themselves down when the work is done, so nothing idles and nothing quietly burns money overnight. And you pay your cloud provider directly — no per-seat pricing, no markup, no mystery line items.

→ the bill is never a mystery

…and it compounds from there

Idea to PR in minutes, not sprints

The distance from "we should fix that" to a reviewable pull request collapses to one message. Small fixes stop waiting a sprint — and big ideas get a working draft the same day.

→ ship today, not next sprint
🤝

Tight collaboration — and shared learning

Work happens in shared threads, not on someone's laptop. Anyone can watch, steer, or jump in — and learnings compound in team channels, not one person's chat history.

→ building in the open, together
🧭

One standard workflow

The whole team shares the same tools, the same flow, the same guardrails. No snowflake setups, no "works on my machine," no five AI tools doing the same job five ways.

→ one flow, zero snowflakes
🧪

Fearless experimentation

Every run gets its own disposable environment, so the risky refactor or the weird spike costs nothing to try. Throw the sandbox away, keep the learning.

→ break things that don't matter
Seen in the wild

Not a concept — a workflow that already ships every week

This model was built and battle-tested inside a real startup's daily workflow before it became a product. Read the story of how it changed who gets to ship — or watch the demo run live.

"Last week our CEO shipped a PR from his phone. So did our PM. So did our designer. … They're active members of our dev team now, building features and shipping real reviewed code every week, alongside the engineers." — from "Sandboxes Are the New Dev Environment"
Runs where you run

Your cloud, your agent, your chat

No rip-and-replace. DevSandboxed plugs into the stack you already have: the cloud account you already pay for, the chat your team already lives in, and the coding agent your engineers already trust — each one swappable, none of them locked in.

Who it's for

Built for teams whose code can't leave the building

🚀 Startup engineering teams

Ship like a team twice your size — without hiring, without a platform team, and without your IP on someone else's servers.

  • More output per engineer: routine work runs itself while the team builds product
  • Investor- and customer-safe: IP and data stay inside your own account
  • No infrastructure tax — nothing new to stand up or maintain per developer

🤝 Services & consulting firms

Win the clients your competitors can't — the ones whose security teams won't let data leave their environment.

  • Deploy per engagement, inside the client's cloud, under their governance
  • Auditable deliverables: every piece of work lands as a reviewable PR
  • Clean exits — tear the whole thing down when the engagement ends
More than software

An AI engineering partner in your corner

Adopting agents isn't installing a tool — it changes how your team works. Design partners don't just get the platform: they get an experienced, AI-focused engineer working alongside them to make the transition stick.

🧠 Best practices from day one

Skip the trial-and-error tax. Get proven practices for working with coding agents — how to scope tasks, set guardrails, and structure your repos so agents actually deliver.

📈 Level up your engineers

Hands-on guidance that turns your developers into effective AI engineers — people who lead agents and multiply their output, instead of competing with them.

Early access

We're onboarding design partners

A small number of teams get hands-on deployment in their own cloud, direct access to the founder, and a real say in the roadmap — in exchange for honest feedback on real work. If cloud coding agents are on your roadmap but third-party exposure is the blocker, let's talk.
