Why nowMoving now

Fresh repo activity plus visible builder pull. This is the kind of tool people test before it turns obvious.

This wants more setup and more teardown. Run it only if the upside is clear.

CuaBot - Co-op computer-use for any agent

cuabot screenshot

cuabot gives any coding agent a seamless sandbox for computer-use. Individual windows appear natively on your desktop with H.265, shared clipboard, and audio.

npx cuabot                 # Setup onboarding
# Run any agent in a sandbox
cuabot claude              # Claude Code
cuabot openclaw            # OpenClaw in the sandbox

# Run any GUI workflow in a sandbox
cuabot chromium
cuabot --screenshot
cuabot --type "hello"

Cua - Agentic UI Automation & Code Execution

Build agents that see screens, click buttons, and complete tasks autonomously. Run isolated code execution environments for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Codex CLI, or OpenCode.

# Requires Python 3.12 or 3.13
from computer import Computer
from agent import ComputerAgent

computer = Computer(os_type="linux", provider_type="cloud")
agent = ComputerAgent(model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", computer=computer)

async for result in agent.run([{"role": "user", "content": "Open Firefox and search for Cua"}]):
    print(result)
