Perplexity AI Inc. today introduced SPACE, a sandbox platform designed to allow its AI agent, Computer, to act with its full capabilities while providing the highest level of security for agentic systems. Computer takes user-described natural language goals, breaks them into multi-step tasks, and orchestrates over 19 different frontier models – including Claude, Gemini and Grok – to interact with tools including web search, email, Notion, Slack, and data curation. SPACE wraps sessions that can be paused, resumed, or branched into multiple sandboxes, serving as an isolated space where all data an agent is working on can live. Perplexity designed SPACE to solve both security and long-term capability problems. Every task runs within an instance of Firecracker microVM, an open-source virtual machine developed by Amazon Web Services Inc. that boots tiny virtual machines in as little as 5 milliseconds. SPACE provides a full set of controls: combining pause, resume, session forking, per-session credential isolation, forwarding, and orchestration into one platform, resulting in a system that captures live memory along with files that can be updated as frequently as ever.
