- jai provides effortless containment of AI agents on Linux to prevent file loss or system damage.
- It offers a lightweight boundary for workflows without requiring container setup or Dockerfiles.
- jai allows full access to the working directory while protecting the home directory with a copy-on-write overlay.
- It supports different isolation levels: Casual, Strict, and Bare, each with varying degrees of confidentiality and integrity.
- jai is designed for ad-hoc sandboxing, not as a replacement for containers or VMs, which are better for strong isolation.
- The tool is free software developed by Stanford's Secure Computer Systems research group.
- jai is not a security mechanism but reduces the blast radius of potential AI agent mishaps.
