CUA
A Computer Use Agent product introduced by OpenAI that allows AI to directly operate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) by capturing screenshots to identify interface elements and executing mouse and keyboard actions, enabling automation in scenarios without API access.

Timeline (last 90 days)
CUA provides a cloud-based Linux virtual desktop sandbox environment in which AI can view the screen, click buttons, and input text.
The entire CUA agent system must use asynchronous programming, because each screenshot and page rendering wait involves real I/O latency, and synchronous blocking will cause the agent to freeze.
Current mainstream Computer Use implementations (including Anthropic's Claude Computer Use and OpenAI's CUA) generally adopt a screenshot plus action sequence approach.
CUA follows an "observe-reason-act" loop: the user's task plus the current screenshot are fed into the model, the model produces a chain of thought and an action, the environment executes it and returns a new screenshot, repeating until the task is completed or the budget is exhausted.
CUA基于多模态大模型的视觉理解能力，对界面变化具有鲁棒性，而RPA依赖预设规则脚本和固定UI元素定位，界面变化就会失效
A CUA (Computer-Using Agent) is an AI agent that can directly operate a computer's graphical interface like a human, completing tasks by visually recognizing screen content and simulating mouse clicks, keyboard input, and other operations.
