Cua is open-source infrastructure and a cloud platform for computer-use AI agents. It provides an open-source MCP/CLI driver (Cua Driver) that lets agents click, type, and inspect native desktop apps without taking over the cursor, plus Cua Sandbox and Cua Fleets for provisioning disposable or pooled GUI environments across Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android. It also offers Cua Bench for benchmarking computer-use agents and verified trajectory datasets for training and evaluation.
