Persistent Sandboxes Make Agents Remember, Plan, and Reuse Their Work

Nico Albanese, a Vercel engineer working on the AI SDK, argues that agents become more reliable when they are given a persistent sandboxed computer, not just a runtime and tools. In his workshop, he builds that pattern with AI SDK 6, Vercel’s named sandboxes, a bash tool, and a file-backed memory system, showing how an agent can plan in files, preserve context across sessions, and create reusable scripts without a separate memory layer.
