**cua** ("koo-ah") is Docker for [Computer-Use Agents](https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/when-you-give-a-claude-a-mouse) - it enables AI agents to control full operating systems in virtual containers and deploy them locally or to the cloud.

With the Computer SDK, you can:
- automate Windows, Linux, and macOS VMs with a consistent, [pyautogui-like API](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/libraries/computer#interface-actions)
- create & manage VMs [locally](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/computer-sdk/computers#cua-local-containers) or using [cua cloud](https://www.trycua.com/)
With the Agent SDK, you can:
- run computer-use models with a [consistent schema](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/agent-sdk/message-format)
- benchmark on OSWorld-Verified, SheetBench-V2, and more [with a single line of code using HUD](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/agent-sdk/integrations/hud) ([Notebook](https://github.com/trycua/cua/blob/main/notebooks/eval_osworld.ipynb))
- combine UI grounding models with any LLM using [composed agents](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/agent-sdk/supported-agents/composed-agents)
- use new UI agent models and UI grounding models from the Model Zoo below with just a model string (e.g., `ComputerAgent(model="openai/computer-use-preview")`)
- use API or local inference by changing a prefix (e.g., `openai/`, `openrouter/`, `ollama/`, `huggingface-local/`, `mlx/`, [etc.](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers))
### CUA Model Zoo 🐨

| `openai/computer-use-preview` | `huggingface-local/HelloKKMe/GTA1-{7B,32B,72B}` | any VLM (using liteLLM, requires `tools` parameter) |

# Quick Start
- [Get started with a Computer-Use Agent UI](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/quickstart-ui)
- [Get started with the Computer-Use Agent CLI](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/quickstart-cli)
- [Get started with the Python SDKs](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/quickstart-devs)
<br/>
# Usage ([Docs](https://docs.trycua.com/docs))
```bash
pip install cua-agent[all]
```
```python
from agent import ComputerAgent
agent = ComputerAgent(
model="anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
tools=[computer],
max_trajectory_budget=5.0
)
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Take a screenshot and tell me what you see"}]
async for result in agent.run(messages):
for item in result["output"]:
if item["type"] == "message":
print(item["content"][0]["text"])
```
### Output format (OpenAI Agent Responses Format):
```json
{
"output": [
# user input
{
"role": "user",
"content": "go to trycua on gh"
},
# first agent turn adds the model output to the history

"type": "type"
},
"call_id": "call_QI6OsYkXxl6Ww1KvyJc4LKKq",

# Computer ([Docs](https://docs.trycua.com/docs/computer-sdk/computers))
```bash
pip install cua-computer[all]
```
```python
from computer import Computer
async with Computer(
os_type="linux",
provider_type="cloud",
name="your-container-name",
api_key="your-api-key"
) as computer:
# Take screenshot
screenshot = await computer.interface.screenshot()
# Click and type
await computer.interface.left_click(100, 100)
await computer.interface.type("Hello!")
