Coding agents throw away good work every time they hit a dead end. Daytona lets an agent save its progress, copy it, and try many next steps from that point — like base camps on a climb. Watch two identical agents attempt the same task.
Every failed attempt erases the road already traveled.
One climb to base camp, then several ideas explored at once.
Solved ✓A dead end no longer erases the road before it. Hard-won progress becomes a permanent save point.
Copy the save point and explore several next steps in parallel. A risky guess costs a small branch, not the whole journey.
More paths explored per task means higher success rates — on real engineering work and on the public benchmarks buyers compare.
Why Daytona is the enabler: branching is only practical if copies are instant and cheap. Daytona snapshots an agent’s entire working environment and spins up perfect copies in moments — turning “start over” into “branch from here.”
