What is Cua 2?

Cua is a cloud desktop platform designed specifically for computer-use AI agents. Built by a team focused on agent infrastructure, Cua solves the problem of providing scalable, reproducible environments for agents that need to interact with graphical user interfaces. The platform offers cloud sandboxes for macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android, allowing agents to run on any operating system at scale. Core capabilities include booting cloud desktops, opening live GUI sessions, controlling mouse and keyboard, and executing bash commands. Cua also supports environment configuration, snapshotting, and forking into parallel runs, making it ideal for testing and development workflows. Trusted by over 50,000 engineers at companies like Hugging Face, Datadog, Meta, and NVIDIA, Cua fits seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, agent development, and multi-platform testing. It is particularly suited for developers building computer-use agents with frameworks like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw.
