# cua-cloud-openai Example
This example demonstrates how to control a cua Cloud container using the OpenAI `computer-use-preview` model and the `@trycua/computer` TypeScript library.
## Overview
- Connects to a cua Cloud container via the `@trycua/computer` library
- Sends screenshots and instructions to OpenAI's computer-use model
- Executes AI-generated actions (clicks, typing, etc.) inside the container
- Designed for Linux containers, but can be adapted for other OS types
## Getting Started
1. **Install dependencies:**
```bash
npm install
```
2. **Set up environment variables:**
Create a `.env` file with the following variables:
- `OPENAI_KEY` — your OpenAI API key
- `CUA_KEY` — your cua Cloud API key
- `CUA_CONTAINER_NAME` — the name of your provisioned container
3. **Run the example:**
```bash
npx tsx src/index.ts
```
## Files
- `src/index.ts` — Main example script
- `src/helpers.ts` — Helper for executing actions on the container
