Runtime (YC P26) – Sandboxed coding agents for everyone on a team

Hey HN, We're Gus and Carlos from Runtime (https://runtm.com). We're building infra that lets your whole team (including non-engineers) ship with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents without engineering having to handhold every session.After Mentum (YC S21) was acquired, I personally shipped 4 full-stack products in 3 months using coding agents. When I tried to roll the same workflow out to the rest of the team, it fell apart: Most PRs were unmergeable slop - Every repo required an engineer doing one-off local setup. - Skills and context lived in one person's head. - There was no safe way for a PM to touch a real codebase without risking a bad deploy or a secrets leak.Carlos comes from building agentic reconciliation systems at Modern Treasury and had a similar experience when letting his support team use devin.We ended up building internal background agent infra but it quickly became a nightmare to mantain and develop. We built Runtime so you don't have to do this kind of thing.Runtime work like as follows. Engineering defines the context once: system instructions, skills, and scoped integrations installable via CLI, mise, npm, or any package manager. Then Runtime snapshots your full running environment including multi-service Docker Compose setups, Kafka, Redis, seeded DBs, so it comes up in milliseconds with every server already running.We orchestrate across sandbox providers like E2B, Daytona, EC2 or self-hosted K8s depending on your setup. Secrets are injected through our managed proxy so they never touch the agent directly, and guardrails run at the infrastructure level: command allow/deny lists, network egress controls, and RBAC scoped per human and per agent. Every session also gets a shareable preview URL, so internal builds go from sandbox to the rest of the team without needing production access.Runtime works with whichever agent your team already uses: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Devin. You can trigger

Agent.email – sign up via curl, claim with a human OTP

Hi HN! We're Haakam, Michael, and Adi from AgentMail- a ycs25 company. We give AI agents their own email inboxes. Recently, we ran an experiment called Agent.Email. It's a signup flow designed specifically for AI agents instead of humans.The inspiration came from a few comments we received when we did our seed launch a few months back. They all came from the very apt observation that agents not being able to sign up to a product made for agents without human credentials was ironic and unideal.This is basically the thesis we built AgentMail on: The internet was made for humans exclusively, designed to keep machines out by default.Every signup flow assumes a browser, a person reading a page, and clicking a confirmation link. Unless agents can't do that, they can't be first class users of the internet.Agents can now get an email inbox by themselves. (This also means a lot of email nobody wants to read gets processed by AI instead of your inbox being cluttered with spam and slop)Here's how agent.email works.Agent needs an inbox and hits AgentMail via curl. Agent receives instructions via MD unless the request comes from a browser, in which case we use HTML.Agent decides agent.email is useful and then hits the sign-up endpoint with its human email as a parameter. Agent receives a restricted inbox with credentials. Agent emails the human asking for an OTP. Human replies with the code, and the agent is claimed and restrictions are lifted. Until claimed, the agent can only email its own human and nobody else. Ten emails a day, and the signup endpoint is rate-limited hard by IP.Right now it's a 1:1 mapping between agent and human. The next step is many-to-one, because one person running several agents in parallel is already very common.Building agent.email also pushed us to revisit places in AgentMail where the default assumptions were built around the primary user being human. For example, the CLI outputs in a single column with consistent fo

Open-source .docx editor library for building document apps

We are working on an open-source .docx editor library for apps that need to edit Word documents in the browser. We just shipped 1.0.A lot of existing approaches convert .docx into HTML and lose document semantics along the way. Our editor parses OOXML directly and uses its own rendering+layout engine to produce paged documents with html/css. Edits round-trip back to .docx, so you’re always editing the document, not its representation.The core rendering engine is framework agnostic, with React and Vue ui adapters on top.It’s Apache 2.0. Happy to answer questions.

Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDK

Author here. RMUX started from a frustration: I've used tmux for years and got tired of scraping output with grep and sleeps to automate anything. So I rebuilt the multiplexer from scratch in Rust, with a programmable layer on top.Two surfaces: a tmux-compatible CLI (~90 commands, your keybindings just work), and a typed async Rust SDK on the same daemon — stable pane IDs, structured snapshots, locator-style waits. The idea is Playwright-style automation, but for terminals.Native on Linux, macOS, Windows (real ConPTY, no WSL).Demos and docs at rmux.io. Happy to answer questions about the daemon protocol, ConPTY, or the SDK design.
