Cradle is a Python framework for General Computer Control (GCC), enabling foundation agents to perform complex computer tasks using screenshots as input and keyboard/mouse actions as output. It is a modular LMM-powered framework with modules for self-reflection, task inference, skill curation, action planning, and memory.

Use cases

  • build ai agents that control a computer via screenshots and mouse/keyboard
  • automate tasks in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Stardew Valley with an llm agent
  • create agents that operate desktop software like Chrome or Outlook
  • research general computer control with vision-language models
  • benchmark foundation agents across diverse virtual environments
  • prototype multimodal agents with skill curation and self-reflection

When to choose

  • you want a research framework for agents that interact with GUIs like humans do
  • you need a unified screenshot-in, keyboard/mouse-out agent interface across games and software
  • you want modular agent components like memory, planning, and skill curation out of the box

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready RPA tool with guaranteed reliability
  • you only need simple browser automation without multimodal reasoning
  • you require a lightweight agent without heavy LMM API dependencies
