# Perplexity Launches SPACE Sandbox for Secure AI Agent Execution

> Perplexity has introduced SPACE, a sandbox designed to let autonomous agents do real work without becoming a security liability. The system wraps agent execution in controls like pause and resume, session forking, per-session credential isolation, and continuous session capture that records live memory and files, updating roughly every minute for transparency. The design reflects a growing realization across the industry: the dangerous part of an agent is not that it thinks, but that it acts. An agent with real credentials and browser access can leak data or take harmful actions in seconds, so isolating those credentials and keeping an auditable trail of what the agent did is becoming table stakes rather than a nice-to-have. By forking sessions and containing credentials, SPACE tries to give users the power of an agent that can actually operate a computer while limiting the blast radius when something goes wrong. It is a reminder that the hard problems in agentic AI are increasingly about plumbing and safety engineering, not raw model intelligence.
