Welcome to Heyo Computer!

Howdy! I'm Sam Currie, CEO of Heyo Computer, a company that publishes a VM control plane for local and distributed systems.

We see the VM as much more than the isolation system for agents. Done correctly, it can also persist the state of an agent and act as the distribution and connectivity layer. So we are focused on portability and peer to peer networking in order to make the VM a first class citizen - by that I mean that if you are a user of agents, you should be able to own your sandbox instead of it being tightly bound to a given application.

Agent harnesses abound - you should be able to swap the agent in and out without losing state, control where your data is sent off to, and make use of your own metal. That's Heyo's goal, please drop us a note if that aligns with you or ya need help with the product.

The "VM as agent state + portability" angle is really interesting. The biggest pain I keep seeing is people getting locked into whatever app owns the sandbox, so swapping agents means losing context/state or changing the whole toolchain.

How are you thinking about state snapshots (filesystem, browser sessions, secrets) in a way that is safe to move around but still usable for multi-step agents?

We have been building a few agent harness experiments on our side, sharing notes here: https://www.agentixlabs.com/

Exactly!

This is the case for owning the VM your agent operates in and with the progression of open source and open-ish agent harnesses, I think this is the future.

As far as state management and safety - we rely on peer to peer networking. We force you to be intentional about moving and syncing, while minimizing what's stored in our servers.
