Part of the thesis at @inanimate_tech is agents are beginning to act in the real world, and to do that well they need to be able to run code Like, our personal AIs can now drive my desktop apps. Why can't they drive the products in my office and home too? Why can't I vibe code a whole generative personal app that makes use of all the electronics around me? It's hard to see how we reach that future: Smart home protocols are too limited and too high latency. At the other end of the spectrum, imagine I could get my agent to re-write the firmware of all my devices for whatever purpose I have a dozen times a day -- is that going to be reliable? Or safe? We open sourced our answer to this today... it's called Resident. Resident is a code sandbox for ESP32 devices. It's aimed at device developers, and it lets them bring infinite reprogrammability to their devices for all their end users. (We love ESP32: it's a unique microcontroller family as it is used equally by makers, new hardware startups, and in mass production. Plus it has on-board wi-fi and a great ecosystem.) Sandboxes let you expose only the capabilities you choose -- and then the code can do anything. Once the developer adds the sandbox, it goes like this: - User says their intent - The agent reads the device capabilities doc: what IO does it have? What are its characteristics? - Then the agent writes code... - ...pushes the code to the device... (we provide a back-end server and websocket connectivity) - ...and the code runs in the on-device Resident sandbox. Boom, hot reload device functionality 💥 We've been using Resident for the last couple of months for prototyping new products and new use cases. It'll be at the heart of the experience for our future products. What we've learnt already is that infinite reprogrammability is powerful... but weird! It changes product archetypes fundamentally. We're going to have to figure out this new world together. Which is why we're sharing Resident for anyone to use. It comes with the same stack of agent skills that we use to quickly bring up new device prototypes and craft new apps for them. We're looking forward to sharing as we build, and would love for you to get involved too. 👉 Resident resident.inanimate.tech - Learn about integrating Resident (compatible with esp-idf and Arduino for prototyping) - Get the agent skills to create and push new sandbox apps - Try it instantly using the browser-based simulator 👉 More... We believe that on-device sandboxes are a foundational primitive for AI irl. I go deep on this topic on my blog interconnected.org/home/2026/05/2… Here's the GitHub — I'd love it if you gave us a star 🤩 github.com/inanimate-tech…

Attending “Beyond the Prompt” in London today Great group of speakers and a nice venue (with in seat plug sockets) Thanks @SylwiaVargas for the invite 👏

There are still some tickets left 👀 ag-grid.com/campaigns/beyo…
