Reliable Automation Agents at Scale
Aident Cloud · Host locally · Documentation
Open CUA (Computer Use Agent) Kit, or Open-CUAK (pronounced "quack" ️), is THE platform for teaching, hiring and managing automation agents at scale — starting with browsers.
In the real world, for real businesses, working with real people, reliability is everything. When automation becomes reliable, it becomes scalable. And when it becomes scalable, it becomes profitable.
That’s why Open-CUAK is designed to run and manage thousands of automation agents, ensuring each one is reliable.
This project is still in its very early days, but our team is working very hard to make it a reality, soon. This is just the beginning of a new era in work, a new way to a world of abundant productivity.
And when productivity becomes truly abundant, we want to make sure it is equally distributed.
That's why we are making it open-sourced, today.

(optional) Make sure you have brew for package management
works on Mac and Linux. For Windows, use WSL2 for now.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# (optional) on Linux, if `brew` command is not available in terminal, use this to register `brew`
test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval "$(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
echo "eval \"\$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)\"" >> ~/.bashrc
# (optional) verify the successful installation of `brew`
brew doctor
Install Open-CUAK package
brew install Aident-AI/homebrew-tap/open-cuak
# or use this to update to the latest version
brew update && brew upgrade Aident-AI/homebrew-tap/open-cuak

An automation agent uses Canva to create a poster for President's Day. When it encounters issues, such as whether to use Pro templates (require a Canva paid plan), it proactively asks the user for additional instructions.
