About Cua
Cua is a computer-use agent platform that lets AI agents see screens, click buttons, type, and run code just like a human across macOS, Windows, Linux, browsers, and mobile environments. It provides cloud-based, sandboxed desktops where agents can automate real software workflows without relying on APIs. Built on open-source Cua agents, the platform enables developers to build, run, and scale computer-use agents with precision and reliability. Cua supports multi-step tasks, structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop recovery for complex automation. Agents operate in fully isolated environments to ensure safety and reproducibility. Cua is designed to make AI interaction with real applications practical and scalable.

ChatGPT Agent
ChatGPT Agent is OpenAI’s next-generation AI assistant that can autonomously perform complex tasks using its own virtual computer. It can navigate websites, interact with apps, run code, and generate outputs such as editable slideshows and spreadsheets—all based on user instructions. By combining capabilities from earlier tools like Operator and deep research, it handles tasks from start to finish with fluid reasoning and action. Users stay in control, able to intervene, pause, or stop tasks anytime, with explicit permission required before significant actions. The agent integrates with apps like Gmail and GitHub, allowing it to access and act on real data securely. This powerful tool enhances productivity in both professional and personal settings by automating workflows and delivering comprehensive results.

Openwork
Openwork is an open source local computer-use AI agent for Mac that runs directly on your machine, reads your files, generates and rewrites documents, automates workflows, and organizes content without sending your data off your device, giving you full control over what it can access and do. It acts as an AI coworker that goes beyond simple chat by performing real actions such as sorting, renaming, and moving files based on content or rules you define, scanning folders to summarize their contents, drafting follow-up documents from meeting notes, creating calendar entries, and preparing project structures with minimal input. Openwork lets you bring your own AI by using your preferred API key from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, so there are no subscriptions or vendor lock-ins, and you only pay for the API usage you choose; the software itself is a tool, not a service.

Claude Cowork
Cowork is a new way to work with Claude that goes beyond chat, giving the AI the ability to read, edit, and create files inside folders you choose on your computer. Designed for non-developers, it brings the power of Claude Code to everyday work like organizing files, drafting reports, and building spreadsheets. Once assigned a task, Cowork plans the work, executes it step by step, and keeps you informed along the way. It reduces back-and-forth by letting you queue tasks and provide feedback while Claude continues working. Cowork integrates with existing connectors and can create documents, presentations, and other structured files more efficiently. When paired with Claude in Chrome, it can also complete tasks that require browser access. All access is permission-based, ensuring users stay in control of what Claude can see and do.

Lux
Lux is a powerful computer-use AI platform that enables agents to operate software just like a human user—clicking, typing, navigating, and completing tasks across any interface. It offers three execution modes—Tasker, Actor, and Thinker—giving developers the ability to choose between step-by-step precision, near-instant task execution, or long-form reasoning for complex workflows. Lux can autonomously perform actions such as crawling Amazon data, running automated QA tests, or extracting insights from Nasdaq’s insider activity pages. The platform makes it possible to prototype and deploy real computer-use agents in as little as 20 minutes using developer-friendly SDKs and templates. Its agents are built to understand vague goals, execute long-running operations, and interact naturally with human-facing software instead of relying solely on APIs. Lux represents a new paradigm where AI goes beyond reasoning and content generation to directly operate computers at scale.
