Day Two: From Data Layer to VM Boot
WorkFort gives AI agents their own Firecracker microVMs — isolated workspaces with full system access, managed by a single daemon. We are starting on Arch Linux, where it is a pacman -S away on btrfs systems like Omarchy, but the daemon is a static Rust binary with no hard distro dependencies and the storage layer is behind a trait that can support backends beyond btrfs. No containers, no root, no cluster. The alpha goal is one agent producing code in a VM — after that, WorkFort dogfoods itself, and the tools most needed to develop WorkFort further get built next.
Yesterday we had a data layer and workspace management. Today we have a pipeline that downloads verified assets, builds rootfs images, and boots Firecracker VMs. Nine of thirteen alpha steps are complete.
