Matthew Ford ships OcuClaw, an AI agent for smart glasses. Nothing he builds can be tested in isolation: every change touches an Android app, two plugins, and a glasses simulator that all have to run together.
"Raise your hand if you’ve walked up or down a flight of stairs with your MacBook open this year. Is your hand down? I’d guess your home doesn’t have stairs." - Kurt Mackey This is the entire reason Sprites exist. fly.io/blog/kurt-sc...

Need a computer for your agent? With Sprites, you just type sprite create and you're good to go.
Fly.io is going all-in on Computers for Agents. The reason is pretty simple: we think that agents (within a few years) are going to determine how almost all software is built and shipped.
Every Sprite comes with 100GB of storage, but you only pay for what you use. So go ahead and make a bunch. That’s kind of the point. sprites.dev
Sprites are basically disposable computers. Whatever you're trying to do, a fresh one is only a second or two away.
Claude Managed Agents can now do their work on a Sprite. Anthropic runs the brain while you own the computer it types on. Full guide with Python and TypeScript: docs.sprites.dev/integrations...

You can run an agent on your laptop around the clock, but you probably shouldn't. Use a computer built for agents instead. fly.io/agents-need-...
Fly.io is excited to be a provider with Stripe Projects, an all-new way to provision production-ready developer stacks with a single tool! No more juggling a million dashboards, tokens, etc. Learn more at: projects.dev

Claude loves Sprites. Let's talk about why. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-be...
What are Sprites, and why does Claude love them?

Built the world's simplest code runner in 5 mins with Sprites. This is doubly cool. First off, how it works: User writes some scary JavaScript, which then gets run in a new Sprite. Sprites are literally built for running random code, so bring on the footguns. 🧵
Sprites make it easy to connect stuff on the internet. Take Slack bots: easy to build, annoying to hook up locally and test. Sprites are first-class citizens of the internet, so you can just build your bot on one, get a public URL, and boom: it's plug-n-play ready.

Sprites - Stateful sandboxes

Is that a TUI for visualizing your sprites MADE IN A SPRITE? Yes, yes it is. It lets you see all the sprites in your org, which ones are running, and organize them to get a better sense of which sprites work together. github.com/aezell/sprit...
We've been yappin' about Sprites a lot, but something we haven't been yappin' about are... ✨DELI CUPS✨ 🧵
Running Claude inside a Sprite is cool and all, but so is, you know, *using an IDE*. So we made a VS Code extension for Sprites! Checkout the demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImkB...

We made "ball-point disposable computers" by committing three heresies: Killing user container images, running orchestration inside the VM, and backing disks with S3. The result? Instant boot, auto-sleep, and zero dockerfile misery. Machines are for servers; Sprites are for everything else. 🔗 ➡ 🧵
🤖 We made a thing that handles real AI workflows called Sprites. Watch the video where Claude builds features, breaks things, fixes modals, adds color-coded graphs, and switches themes. All while the developer, @anniesexton.com does her makeup. 🔗➡️ youtu.be/--PIlSp1YOg
We made a thing called Sprites that lets you run AI code safely. Watch Chris create sandboxes in seconds, let agents install packages freely, then restore to checkpoints when things go sideways. 🔗 ➡️ youtu.be/7BfTLlwO4hw
🚀 Just dropped: Litestream VFS. Query SQLite databases directly from S3 with zero download penalty. It uses HTTP range headers for lazy fetching and LTX for compaction, enabling instant startup even for large databases. 🔗 ➡️ fly.io/blog/litestr...
