Build, benchmark, and deploy agents that use computers

Build agents that see screens, click buttons, and complete tasks autonomously. One API for any VM or container image — cloud or local.

pip install cua

# Requires Python 3.11 or later
from cua import Sandbox, Image

# Same API regardless of OS or runtime
async with Sandbox.ephemeral(Image.linux()) as sb:   # or .macos() .windows() .android()
    result = await sb.shell.run("echo hello")
    screenshot = await sb.screenshot()
    await sb.mouse.click(100, 200)
    await sb.keyboard.type("Hello from Cua!")
    await sb.mobile.gesture((100, 500), (100, 200))  # multi-touch gestures
