# Virtualization — Nucleic
Nucleic summons the right machine for the job on demand — a container for quick work, a real Linux VM for real dev work, a whole Mac when only a Mac will do. Each walled off from yours and gone when done.

Virtualization

# The right machine
for the job.

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.

What it does

## A disposable machine,
sized to the task.

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.

## Agents that can
see and click.

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.

Why it matters

## Free to install, run, and break anything inside.

### Safe by default

Whatever an agent installs or runs stays inside its own machine.

### Parallel, no collisions

Every session gets its own machine, so concurrent work never fights over one.

### Nothing to clean up

The machine appears for the work and disappears after.

### The right power

Quick tasks stay light; heavy tasks get a real VM — Nucleic chooses.
