# Concepts

> This conceptual guide introduces the two core abstractions in GBOX: **Devices** and **Boxes**

## Device

A **Device** is the underlying hardware resource (cloud virtual/physical Android devices, registered local Android device, Linux desktop/sandbox).

* Devices are the foundation for creating boxes.
* A device can only host **one active box at a time**.

## Box

A **Box** is an operable environment created from a device.

* Think of it as a running session on that device.
* Each device can create multiple boxes **over time**, but you must terminate the current one before starting another.
* Boxes expose the APIs and SDK actions your AI agents use to interact with the device environment.
