Cua: Open-Source Infrastructure for Computer-Use AI Agents Across Desktop Operating Systems
By

An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Cua is an open-source infrastructure project for building and running Computer-Use Agents — AI agents that can control full desktops across macOS, Linux, and Windows. The project provides sandboxes, SDKs, and benchmarks for training and evaluating these agents. Key features include a Cua Driver for background computer-use on macOS that allows agents to interact with native apps without stealing cursor focus, and agent-ready sandboxes for multiple operating systems. The tool supports CLI and MCP server integration with Claude Code, Cursor, and custom clients, and records sessions as replayable trajectories.
