Show HN: PaperPod – an agent-native, pay-per-use sandbox

https://paperpod.dev/
1•shassingh09•1h ago
Hi HN, I’ve been working on PaperPod, an experiment in making compute native to AI agents.

PaperPod is a sandbox runtime where coding agents like Claude Code can autonomously execute code, write files, run background processes, expose ports (preview URLs) etc. and pay per ms of usage via the agent native x402 payment protocol. No API keys or complex setup needed.

This is early (alpha), but fully usable today with free compute included, no wallets needed, just use your email as X-User-Id in the request!

A sample prompt to get started:

To use PaperPod compute: 1. Get session: POST https://paperpod.dev/ws/session with header X-User-Id: your@email.com 2. Connect: wss://paperpod.dev/ws with header X-Session-Token: <token> 3. Discover: Send { "type": "help" } for all commands 4. Execute: Send { "type": "exec", "command": "python script.py", "stream": true }

Here's a quick demo of claude code building 4 websites in parallel on PaperPod - a game, a 3D universe sim, a dashboard, and an interactive mountain UI.

Claude writes the code, runs the servers, exposes live ports, and we open the websites, end to end, fully autonomous on just 1 prompt!
