Show HN: Era – Open-source local sandbox for AI agents

https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA
12•gregTurri•2h ago
Just watched this video by ThePrimeagen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efwDZw7l2Nk) about attackers jailbreaking Claude to run cyber attacks. The core issue: AI agents need isolation.

We built ERA to fix this – local microVM-based sandboxing for AI-generated code with hardware-level security. Think containers, but safer. Such attacks wouldn't touch your host if running in ERA.

GitHub: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA

Quick start: https://github.com/BinSquare/ERA/tree/main/era-agent/tutoria...

Would love your thoughts and feedback!

can you include a component diagram overview to give folks a quick idea of "what runs where?" before making the decision to try this out.

you wrote that this is local but what's up with the cloudflare subdir? do we need a cf account to run this?

I am a bit confused how I would use this (maybe because I may not be your target audience?).

For example if I am coding with Kilocode and phpstorm. How would I use these microVms and what is the cloudflare worker for? I currently run a regular set of docker containers to run my code, how does this compare?

I hate to speak negatively about someone's hard work but I am genuinely confused as to why this needs to be a separate product/service. Could I not spin up a container or a VM and run my agents in it? What is this sandbox letting the agent do safely that neither the current container or VM solutions are able to offer?
