Druks is a product factory: agents run in sandboxed micro-VMs, secrets never touch the box, every step is checkpointed so a crash loses nothing, and everything that happened is in a database table Follow Miriam ➡️   / czpython   Deep dive into his project ➡️ https://druks.ai/ ** Timestamps ** 0:00 — Drooks: not a harness, a "product factory" 1:13 — Drukbox: one SDK for every micro-VM provider 3:14 — Secrets that never live inside the VM 5:36 — The core: batteries-included primitives 6:12 — Durability with DBOS: checkpoint every LLM call 7:16 — Gates and triggers: pause for approval, resume weeks later 8:38 — The record: everything in a database table, not a transcript 9:55 — Live: a Linear ticket spins up a sandboxed agent 11:08 — Building an app: the daily-quote example 13:05 — Browser sessions and why plugins extend the platform This talk is part of our ongoing demo nights, where engineers, founders, and researchers show work in progress and discuss what works and what does not. ** About AI Tinkerers Valencia ** AI Tinkerers is a global community of people building with AI.
