| 17 | +Tines 3B is an AI-native platform for building agents, apps, and automations. It |
| 18 | +gives IT and security teams the visibility and control to govern that work. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +> gVisor gives 3B a strong isolation boundary for running untrusted code. We use |
| 21 | +> checkpoint and restore to start each execution in a fresh, single-use sandbox. |
| 22 | +> Its filesystem extension points let us present durable, versioned storage as |
| 23 | +> familiar files and directories, while its network stack helps us control each |
| 24 | +> step's network access and bandwidth. |
