Ghostbox offers disposable dev machines

This is a sharp answer to the “agents need a real machine” problem, but the real test is whether it feels simpler and safer than just spinning up a VM or using existing cloud dev environments.

• –The product is well aligned with agent workflows: shell access, repo cloning, package installs, network access, previews, and short-lived secrets all in one place.
• –The “Global Free Tier” framing is clever because it suggests borrowed compute can be unified into one disposable experience, not treated as infrastructure you manage.
• –Security and trust are the hard parts: the promise only matters if isolation, cleanup, and secret scoping are rock solid.
• –It competes in a crowded infra-adjacent space where the winning wedge is not raw compute, but frictionless setup for coding agents and throwaway tasks.
• –If the workflow really is “ghost up, do the work, let it disappear,” that is a strong mental model for ephemeral dev environments.
