What is Runtime?
Runtime is a secure orchestration platform that provides sandboxed environments for AI coding agents. Instead of letting AI agents run loose against your production code, Runtime allows teams to deploy agents like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini within isolated, reproducible infrastructure.
Why Founders Need It
As startups integrate AI into their development lifecycle, ‘agent sprawl’ and security vulnerabilities become inevitable. Runtime allows founders to maintain control, audit agent behavior, and ensure that AI-driven development doesn’t lead to accidental production outages or data leaks. It turns chaotic agent usage into a structured, scalable development workflow.
How to Use It
- Define Templates: Create environment templates that mirror your production setup, including monorepos and microservices.
- Deploy Agents: Attach agents to these sandboxes via CLI, Slack, Jira, or Linear.
- Execute & Audit: Allow agents to perform coding tasks safely within the sandbox, then review changes before merging.
- Self-Host: Deploy internally if your company has strict compliance requirements.
Integrations
Slack, Linear, Jira, Asana, Microsoft Teams, and native CLI support.
Vs. Alternatives
While IDE-based tools like Cursor or extensions like Copilot focus on the individual developer, Runtime focuses on the team-wide infrastructure layer, ensuring that agents have a safe, consistent environment to operate in regardless of the user.
