Cua

Cua is an open-source Docker-style container runtime designed for Computer-Use AI Agents. It enables AI agents to securely control full operating systems inside lightweight, isolated virtual machines (VMs) on macOS and Linux, with planned Windows support. By running agents in these sandboxed environments, Cua allows automation of native desktop applications without risking host system integrity or interrupting user workflows. The platform includes a high-performance virtualization layer (Lume CLI), an Agent SDK compatible with multiple large language models and vision models, and supports complex workflows such as interacting with apps like Tableau, Photoshop, and CAD software. Cua is free under the MIT license and offers both local deployment and upcoming hosted orchestration services for teams.
