## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources on AI agents for Computer Use, covering research papers, surveys, open-source and commercial frameworks, datasets, benchmarks, and tools. It serves as a reference index for GUI/UI automation agents that reason, plan, and act on computers or mobile devices.

## Use cases
- find research papers on GUI agents
- discover frameworks for building computer-use AI agents
- compare benchmarks and datasets for UI automation agents
- learn about AI agents that control computers
- find open-source alternatives to commercial computer-use agents
- research UI grounding and GUI automation

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for learning about computer-use agents
- you need to survey the research landscape of GUI/UI agents
- you are looking for papers, benchmarks, and tools in one place

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable framework or library rather than a resource list
- you need production software with a license and support
- you want exhaustive, automatically updated coverage rather than curated picks

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, developer-tools
- domain: artificial-intelligence, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, computer-use, gui-agents, curated-resources, research-papers, ai-agents, automation
