Computer Use AI SDK
by m13v
The Computer Use AI SDK is an open-source alternative to OpenAI's operator and Claude's computer use, allowing you to build agents that control your computer natively on macOS. It leverages underlying desktop-rendered elements for faster and more reliable interaction than pixel-based vision models.

What is Computer Use AI SDK?
The Computer Use AI SDK is a set of tools and libraries that enable AI agents to interact with and control a computer, specifically macOS, without relying on virtual machines or pixel-based vision. It provides computational primitives for AI to perform tasks on your computer.
How to use Computer Use AI SDK?
To use the SDK, clone the repository, install Rust and Node.js, run the backend server, and then choose either the CLI interface or the web app interface. Set your Anthropic API key, install dependencies, and run the chosen interface. The README provides detailed instructions for each option.
Key features of Computer Use AI SDK
Native macOS support
Desktop-rendered element interaction (no pixel-based vision)
Tools for launching apps, reading content, clicking, entering text, and pressing keys
Simple Hello World Template for getting started
CLI and Web app interfaces
Use cases of Computer Use AI SDK
Build custom workflows of agents to perform various actions
Build custom UI to make it easy for users to automate their computer work
Save workflows and run in cron
Combine with other MCP servers to do something cool, e.g.: fill out a google sheet based on the history of people i talk to throughout the day
