artifuncs docs

A 41-second tour of artifuncs: boards and bundles, what a func is, the ways to build one, and the sandbox it runs in.

artifuncs lets you build, run, and share small tools — isolated, versioned, and callable from anywhere. Each tool runs inside a sandbox: a containerised environment with the artifuncs SDK, a Python or JavaScript runtime, and real‑time logs streaming back to the UI.

These docs cover how sandboxes work, how to manage yours, and how to run your own.

artifuncs is currently in beta — see Beta for what that means, how to send feedback, and where pricing is headed.
