TerminalAgentContainers

The agent and you share a real shell

Browser-sandboxed builders give the AI a pretend shell: enough POSIX to install packages, not enough to be a computer. The moment your idea needs a compiler, a system library, or a process that outlives the tab, you've found the walls.

The Hoody agent works in a real Linux container, and hoody-terminal opens the same machine to you as a URL. It apt-installs ffmpeg; you check htop. It compiles the Rust binary; you run it. Whatever the agent set up, you're standing in it: and it survives the tab, the day, the week.

The agent and you share the same shell, and the shell is real.
