Talk "Forkable Sandboxes for Long-Running Agents"β
βπ€ Muhammad Annas Hashmi, DevRel at Daytona
ββββββββOutline:
βAgents are starting to do real software work: installing dependencies, editing files, running tests, starting servers, and debugging over long sessions. But most AI systems still treat each run like a disposable prompt-response loop. That breaks down once the useful state lives not just in tokens, but in the actual machine.
This talk is about the runtime layer agents need to become reliable builders. Iβll show how forkable Daytona sandboxes let you pause at important moments in an agent run, branch the environment, and sample multiple continuations from the same machine state. For builders, this turns long-running agent workflows into something you can inspect, compare, recover, and eventually optimize.

Talk "Letting AI agents use credentials they never see"
βπ€ Chase Erickson, Solutions Engineer at Infisical
ββββββββOutline:
βInfisical manages the secrets your Daytona agents depend on. The Daytona secret sync pushes them from Infisical to your Daytona organization and keeps them current, rotations included. Infisical's Agent Vault, a proxy, adds the credential to requests bound for the services you configure, so the agent never sees it. In this talk, we'll show how an agent in a Daytona sandbox calls an API without ever holding the secret.
