Cua

Cua is an open-source computer-use driver that scales Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android fleets for AI agents.

Cua scales Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android computer fleets for computer-use agents using an open-source MCP/CLI driver. It runs workloads in parallel, forks from snapshots, reproduces failures, and turns agent activity into training data. The product supports Ubuntu containers and VMs, Windows 11 and Server 2025, Apple Silicon virtualisation, and Android VMs. It integrates with tools like OpenAI, Qwen Code, and Factory Droid. Cua provides open-source control and eval layers including Cua Driver, Cua Bench, and Lume, operating via local sandboxes or the Cua Fleet cloud service.
