When an agent needs somewhere safe to work, Nucleic conjures the right machine — a lightweight container, a full Linux box, or a whole Mac. Each walled off from yours, and gone the moment the work is done.
Agents shouldn’t run loose on your Mac — or all pile into one place. Nucleic gives each piece of work its own machine and reaches for the lightest that can do the job: a container for a quick command, a real Linux VM when it needs a kernel or a desktop, a whole Mac for building an app.
A machine of its own also means an agent can see and drive a screen — launching an app, clicking through it, checking how something actually renders. That’s how an agent can build your app and then confirm it works, end to end, without borrowing your desktop.
Whatever an agent installs or runs stays inside its own machine.
Every session gets its own machine, so concurrent work never fights over one.
The machine appears for the work and disappears after.
Quick tasks stay light; heavy tasks get a real VM — Nucleic chooses.
Nucleic is in open beta. All it asks is macOS 27 on Apple Silicon.
