Your agent doesn’t run on your machine. It runs in an isolated cloud sandbox, so it can work in the background without tying up your browser or laptop. Each agent gets its own persistent file workspace. Files it creates (CSVs, reports, images, exports) are saved automatically and stick around across conversations.

​
Sandbox

Every agent session runs in a secure, isolated sandbox in the cloud. This means:
  • Background execution - start a workflow and close your laptop. Your agent keeps running.
  • No local setup - nothing to install, no dependencies to manage, no ports to open.
  • Isolation - each agent runs in its own environment. One agent’s work never interferes with another’s.

​
Files

Agents create files as part of their work, like exporting a lead list to CSV, generating a research report, or saving intermediate data. These files live in the agent’s workspace and persist across conversations. You can:
  • Preview files directly in the app - spreadsheet view for CSVs, rendered images, and more.
  • Download any file to your machine.
  • Pick up where you left off - files from a previous conversation are still there when you come back.

​
Sharing files in chat

Agents can share files directly in the conversation. When an agent creates something worth reviewing, it surfaces a clickable file card in the chat. Click to preview or download.
