His solution: every branch gets its own Sprite. Where his AI coding agents write, build, and do tests on their own. A second AI model reviews each result. He just needs to read the final PRs.

Matthew Ford ships OcuClaw, an AI agent for smart glasses. Nothing he builds can be tested in isolation: every change touches an Android app, two plugins, and a glasses simulator that all have to run together.

Need a computer for your agent? With Sprites, you just type sprite create and you're good to go.

Now we're pouring gas on the fire, with $25M in new funding and a new CEO. Kurt personally recruited Scott Johnston—the guy who rebuilt Docker around devs—to come lead Fly.io into this next phase while Kurt moves into an advisory role.

Those agents are not going to be content with sandboxes. They're going to need real computers that can stick around, sit on the network, and reach the resources they depend on. We already have 8,000 customers building agent products on Fly today.

Fly.io is going all-in on Computers for Agents. The reason is pretty simple: we think that agents (within a few years) are going to determine how almost all software is built and shipped.

Every Sprite comes with 100GB of storage, but you only pay for what you use. So go ahead and make a bunch. That’s kind of the point. sprites.dev

Last note: If you were building a code runner like this For Real, you'd be a lot smarter about it. You'd stick to one Sprite per user, or perhaps project. No shared Sprites between customers, tho. (That would be rude) To learn more, checkout sprites.dev !

Secondly, we built this whole thing with a single prompt. We can do this with confidence because Sprites were designed to be the perfect place for Claude to just go nuts. No need to micromanage. Just give it a task, and then go make some lunch. It's that easy.

Built the world's simplest code runner in 5 mins with Sprites. This is doubly cool. First off, how it works: User writes some scary JavaScript, which then gets run in a new Sprite. Sprites are literally built for running random code, so bring on the footguns. 🧵

Sprites make it easy to connect stuff on the internet. Take Slack bots: easy to build, annoying to hook up locally and test. Sprites are first-class citizens of the internet, so you can just build your bot on one, get a public URL, and boom: it's plug-n-play ready.

Sprites - Stateful sandboxes

Is that a TUI for visualizing your sprites MADE IN A SPRITE? Yes, yes it is. It lets you see all the sprites in your org, which ones are running, and organize them to get a better sense of which sprites work together. github.com/aezell/sprit...

Sprites are stateFUL sandbox environments with 100GB of storage. Spin them up in milliseconds, boot up Claude, and get to vibin'. They are durable, performant, and persistent. They are disposable and cheap. They are the perfect playground to run your weird AI code.

100

Stateless containers have long reigned supreme in the development world, and for good reason! But they aren't ideal for running AI generated code. See, Claude doesn't want ziploc bags. It wants a computer with disk storage and such. That's where Sprites come in.

100

Deli cups are also reusable *and* disposable. Throw them in the dishwasher over and over OR chuck them out when the fridge needs a purge. You know what ALSO appreciates reusable, disposable, and multi-purpose boxes? AI agents.

200

Deli cups are just better, more rigid ziploc bags. Store leftovers in them. Store liquids in them. Stack them. Use them as organizers. Use them as plant pots. Use them as measuring cups. Hell, use them as CUPS. Anything a zip can do, a deli cup can do better.

We've been yappin' about Sprites a lot, but something we haven't been yappin' about are... ✨DELI CUPS✨ 🧵

We made "ball-point disposable computers" by committing three heresies: Killing user container images, running orchestration inside the VM, and backing disks with S3. The result? Instant boot, auto-sleep, and zero dockerfile misery. Machines are for servers; Sprites are for everything else. 🔗 ➡ 🧵
