# Introduction

> Build and deploy AI agents in seconds

BoxCrew is a multi-tenant AI agent platform. Create isolated agents running Claude Code, OpenCode, or OpenClaw inside sandboxed VMs — each with persistent filesystem, email, cron jobs, and webhook triggers.

## How it works

1. **Create an agent** — pick a runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, or OpenClaw) and a name
2. **Chat** — send messages via the dashboard, CLI, or API and get streaming responses
3. **Automate** — set up cron jobs, webhooks, and email triggers to run agents on autopilot

Each agent runs inside a [Fly Sprite](https://fly.io/docs/sprites/) VM with its own persistent filesystem. Agents can execute code, read and write files, send emails, and browse the web.
