AgentSphere Desktop - Virtual Computer for Computer Use

AgentSphere Desktop is a secure virtual desktop ready for Computer Use. Each sandbox is isolated from the others and can be customized with any dependencies you need.

Get Started

AgentSphere Desktop is built on top of AgentSphere Sandbox.

1. Get AgentSphere API key

1. Sign up at AgentSphere and get your API key.

2. Set environment variable AGENTSPHERE_API_KEY with your API key.

2. Install SDK

pip install agentsphere-desktop

npm install agentsphere-desktop

3. Create Your Desktop

from agentsphere_desktop import Sandbox

# Create a new desktop sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Launch an application
desktop.launch('google-chrome')  # or vscode, firefox, etc.

# Wait 10s for the application to open
desktop.wait(10000)

# Stream the application's window
# Note: There can be only one stream at a time
# You need to stop the current stream before streaming another application
desktop.stream.start(
    window_id=desktop.get_current_window_id(), # if not provided the whole desktop will be streamed
    require_auth=True
)

# Get the stream auth key
auth_key = desktop.stream.get_auth_key()

# Print the stream URL
print('Stream URL:', desktop.stream.get_url(auth_key=auth_key))

# Kill the sandbox after the tasks are finished
# desktop.kill()

import { Sandbox } from 'agentsphere-desktop'

// Start a new desktop sandbox
const desktop = await Sandbox.create()

// Launch an application
await desktop.launch('google-chrome') // or vscode, firefox, etc.

// Wait 10s for the application to open
await desktop.wait(10000)

// Stream the application's window
// Note: There can be only one stream at a time
// You need to stop the current stream before streaming another application
await desktop.stream.start({
  windowId: await desktop.getCurrentWindowId(), // if not provided the whole desktop will be streamed
  requireAuth: true,
})

// Get the stream auth key
const authKey = desktop.stream.getAuthKey()

// Print the stream URL
console.log('Stream URL:', desktop.stream.getUrl({ authKey }))

// Kill the sandbox after the tasks are finished
// await desktop.kill()

Work with AgentSphere Desktop

Stream Desktop Screen

from agentsphere_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Start the stream
desktop.stream.start()

# Get stream URL
url = desktop.stream.get_url()
print(url)

# Get stream URL and disable user interaction
url = desktop.stream.get_url(view_only=True)
print(url)

# Stop the stream
desktop.stream.stop()

import { Sandbox } from 'agentsphere-desktop'

const desktop = await Sandbox.create()

// Start the stream
await desktop.stream.start()

// Get stream URL
const url = desktop.stream.getUrl()
console.log(url)

// Get stream URL and disable user interaction
const url = desktop.stream.getUrl({ viewOnly: true })
console.log(url)

// Stop the stream
await desktop.stream.stop()

Stream with Password Protection

from agentsphere_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Start the stream
desktop.stream.start(
    require_auth=True  # Require authentication with an auto-generated key
)

# Retrieve the authentication key
auth_key = desktop.stream.get_auth_key()

# Get stream URL
url = desktop.stream.get_url(auth_key=auth_key)
print(url)

# Stop the stream
desktop.stream.stop()

import { Sandbox } from 'agentsphere-desktop'

const desktop = await Sandbox.create()

// Start the stream
await desktop.stream.start({
  requireAuth: true, // Require authentication with an auto-generated key
})

// Retrieve the authentication key
const authKey = await desktop.stream.getAuthKey()

// Get stream URL
const url = desktop.stream.getUrl({ authKey })
console.log(url)

// Stop the stream
await desktop.stream.stop()

Stream Specific Apps

[!WARNING]

• Will raise an error if the desired application is not open yet
• The stream will close once the application closes
• Creating multiple streams at the same time is not supported, you may have to stop the current stream and start a new one for each application

from agentsphere_desktop import Sandbox
desktop = Sandbox()

# Get current (active) window ID
window_id = desktop.get_current_window_id()

# Get all windows of the application
window_ids = desktop.get_application_windows("Firefox")

# Start the stream
desktop.stream.start(window_id=window_ids[0])

# Stop the stream
desktop.stream.stop()

import { Sandbox } from 'agentsphere-desktop'

const desktop = await Sandbox.create()

// Get current (active) window ID
const windowId = await desktop.getCurrentWindowId()

// Get all windows of the application
const windowIds = await desktop.getApplicationWindows('Firefox')

// Start the stream
await desktop.stream.start({ windowId: windowIds[0] })

// Stop the stream
await desktop.stream.stop()

Mouse Control
