Computer – Build Your Manus AI Agent with an OSS macOS Sandbox
We just open-sourced Computer, a Computer-Use Interface (CUI) framework that enables AI agents to interact with isolated macOS and Linux sandboxes, with near-native performance on Apple Silicon. Computer provides a PyAutoGUI-compatible interface that can be plugged into any AI agent system (OpenAI Agents SDK , Langchain, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.). Why Computer? As CUA AI agents become more capable, they need secure environments to operate in. Computer solves this with: • Isolation: Run agents in sandboxes completely separate from your host system. • Reliability: Create reproducible environments…

In plain words
Computer is an open-source framework that lets AI agents interact with isolated macOS and Linux sandboxes with near-native performance on Apple Silicon. It provides a PyAutoGUI-compatible interface compatible with OpenAI Agents SDK, Langchain, CrewAI, and AutoGen. The tool emphasizes security through sandboxing, allowing agents to operate in completely isolated environments separate from the host system, while maintaining reliability and giving users control to monitor and terminate workflows.

I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…
