21st is building the layer between frontier agent runtimes and the product that needs to ship them to real users. Its current surface combines a large React component registry with an Agents SDK for sandboxing, streaming, credentials, billing and observability.

## What it does

The [current 21st.dev site](https://21st.dev/) describes more than 12,000 React components, templates and shadcn themes for AI interfaces. Its [YC launch](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PiD-21st-infrastructure-for-ai-agents) explains the newer infrastructure product: define an agent in TypeScript, deploy it with one command and expose it through a hosted API and chat UI.

The SDK includes sandboxed code execution powered by E2B, a credential-proxy layer so keys do not touch the sandbox, SSE streaming, usage limits, billing and observability. It supports React, Next.js, Node and Python. The buyer is a founder or product team that can make an agent work locally but does not want to build the production layer around persistent files,
