Ty! Ashish, excited to chat more about this tech.

Hi Abhishek, the backtracking feature looks super useful. Congrats on launching!

The name checks out for a sandbox! Well done

Hi HN!My name is Abhishek. I&#x27;ve spent my career working on Operating Systems and Infrastructure at places like Replit, Google, and Microsoft.Today, I&#x27;m excited to launch Arrakis: an open-source and self-hostable sandboxing service designed to let AI Agents execute code and operate a GUI securely.GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abshkbh&#x2F;arrakis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abshkbh&#x2F;arrakis</a>Watch Claude build a live Google Docs clone using Arrakis via MCP – with no re-prompting or interruption.

They can debug problems independently and produce working results with minimal human intervention.I&#x27;m the solo founder and developer behind Arrakis. I&#x27;d love to hear your thoughts, answer any questions, or discuss how you might use this in your projects!Get in touch- Email: abshkbh AT gmail DOT com
