# Get development environments that just work, with Workshop

Launch sandboxed development environments that are composable and repeatable with a single command.

Innovate with agentic workflows while keeping your host system isolated.

## Repeatable environments,

from a single fileWorkshops are defined through YAML files, allowing them to be recreated on different machines, without spending time on complex configurations.

### Composable and repeatable

Add in SDKs to your workshop with only a few lines, including Ollama, OpenCode, NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm, Intel OpenVino, and ROS 2.

Easily switch between stable and edge channels for SDKs, and run local experiments using sketch SDKs without compromising your development environment.

### Built for agentic workflows

Run experimental AI libraries or autonomous agents with a reduced attack surface to protect your host operating system.

Move fast with cutting-edge tools in a sandbox, where you control what AI agents have access to.

### Simplified access to host resources

No need to know what to expose to the container, or how: a few lines in the configuration file are all you need.

Workshop's interface system allocates host resources, without the need for extensive manual configuration.
