Who is it for?
Decision note
Confirm hosted concurrency, machine types, OS images, network isolation, data retention, verified-data scope, BYOC and on-prem requirements, support, and current commercial terms.
Key features
Background computer-use driver with MCP and CLI
Cross-platform Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android fleets
Disposable sandboxes and snapshot-based reproduction
Elastic warm pools for training and evaluations
Trajectory capture and verified data generation
Open-core, BYOC, and on-prem deployment options
Use cases
Running computer-use agent evaluations
Generating agent training trajectories
Reproducing GUI failures from snapshots
Scaling parallel desktop automation workloads
Pros
- Open-source MIT-licensed core components
- Supports four operating-system families
- Flexible local, hosted, BYOC, and on-prem paths
Cons
- Hosted fleet pricing requires access
- Computer-use workloads carry security risk
- Cross-platform behavior still needs validation
Limitations
Cua enables agents to control real computer environments, which can expose data or trigger harmful actions. Teams must isolate workloads, enforce permissions, protect credentials, validate tasks, review trajectories, and monitor resource use.
