VNC access is coming soon and is not yet available. This page describes the planned feature.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) provides a graphical desktop environment inside sandboxes, accessible directly from your browser. This enables interaction with GUI applications, visual debugging, and observation of agent-driven desktop automation.

Use cases

  • GUI application testing — interact with desktop apps built or modified by an agent
  • Browser testing — verify web applications in a full browser environment inside the sandbox
  • Visual debugging — inspect graphical output, rendered documents, or UI state
  • Agent observation — watch an AI agent perform automated desktop interactions

How it works

Sandboxes support VNC through a set of pre-installed packages (Xvfb, xfce4, x11vnc, noVNC) that provide a headless desktop environment with browser-based access. When VNC is enabled:
  1. Start a run with VNC enabled on a cloud sandbox
  2. Open a browser-based VNC viewer to see the sandbox desktop
  3. Interact with the desktop using mouse and keyboard — or watch an agent automate it

Example workflow

VNC is useful when the agent needs to interact with a GUI application that can’t be driven through a CLI alone. This workflow automates filling out a legacy internal web form that requires browser interaction:
VNC access workflow: Start → Prepare Data → Fill Portal Form → Review Submission → Exit, with a Redo loop back to Fill Portal Form
