Launch HN: Cua (YC X25) – Open-Source Docker Container for Computer-Use Agents

Hey HN, we’re Francesco and Alessandro, the creators of c/ua ( https://www.trycua.com ), a Docker‑style container runtime that lets AI agents drive full operating systems in lightweight, isolated VMs. Our entire framework is open‑source ( https://github.com/trycua/cua ), and today we’re thrilled to have our Launch HN! Check out our demo to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee9qf-13gho , and for more examples - including Tableau, Photoshop, CAD workflows - see the demos in our repo: https://github.com/trycua/cua .
