Cua

Run AI agents inside isolated virtual OS containers

Visit Cua →

Cua is an open-source framework that enables AI agents to control full operating systems within lightweight virtual containers, analogous to how Docker works for applications. It provides sandboxed environments where computer-use agents can interact with GUIs, execute programs, and perform autonomous tasks with OS-level isolation. It targets developers building or deploying AI agents that require reliable, reproducible, and isolated OS control.
