## What it is
An open-source AI agent that controls a secure cloud Linux desktop (via E2B Desktop Sandbox) using keyboard, mouse, and shell commands, powered by swappable open-source and proprietary LLMs. It streams the sandbox display to the client and lets users pause and re-prompt the agent at any time.

## Use cases
- let an AI agent operate a computer for me
- automate desktop tasks with an LLM agent
- try computer use with open source models
- build an agent that clicks and types in a GUI
- run a sandboxed AI that uses a Linux desktop
- experiment with OS-Atlas or ShowUI screen grounding

## When to choose
- you want an open, hackable computer-use agent with pluggable LLM providers
- you need a secure cloud sandbox rather than controlling your own machine
- you want to experiment with grounding models like OS-Atlas or ShowUI

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed commercial computer-use product
- you want to automate your local desktop rather than a cloud VM
- you don't want to depend on E2B's paid cloud sandboxes
