  "description": "Create a desktop with `Sandbox.create()` from `e2b-desktop` (Python) or `@e2b/desktop` (JavaScript) using an `E2B_API_KEY`, launch apps such as Chrome or VS Code, and stream the screen. Each sandbox is isolated and customizable. The SDK sources now live in the E2B monorepo; the e2b-dev/desktop repo keeps the sandbox template and examples, including Surf (an OpenAI computer-use agent app) and Open Computer Use. Usage is billed through an E2B account.",
