// Abstract
Everyone’s arguing about agents. Jonathan Wall says the real fight is about sandboxes, isolation, and why most “agent platforms” are doing it wrong.
// Bio
Jon was the techlead of Google File System, a founding engineer at Google Wallet, and then the founder of Inde, which was acquired by Stripe. He is building Runloop.ai to bridge the production gap for AI Agents by building a one-stop sandbox infrastructure for building, deploying, and refining agents.
