## What the story says

ClickUp's Brain² AI provisions E2B sandboxes to upload user files, generate and run code for data analysis and file processing, and return charts, reports, or presentations in the conversation. The sandboxes are isolated, short-lived microVMs built from prebuilt templates, with pause-and-resume for longer workflows.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of E2B and ClickUp, not ours.

> Going down the E2B route allowed us to get something out to our users within the space of maybe a week or two. Whereas if we had built it in-house, it probably would have been 10x that duration.

- **thousands**: “Spins up thousands of sandboxes within a minute to absorb demand spikes”
- **68**: “Brain²'s base template ships with 68 tools covering data analysis, visualization, document and spreadsheet processing, media analysis, and report generation.”
