A TypeScript sample application from OpenAI demonstrating how to use the Computer Using Agent (CUA) via the Responses API against browser environments. It includes a Next.js operator console, a Fastify runner managing browser sessions and workspaces, and shared packages for defining and verifying automation scenarios.

Use cases

  • learn how to integrate OpenAI computer-use agents via the API
  • automate browser tasks with an AI agent clicking and typing
  • build an operator console for reviewing agent runs and screenshots
  • compare native computer-use mode versus scripted Playwright code mode
  • set up isolated browser workspaces for AI agent scenarios
  • replay and inspect agent event traces and screenshots

When to choose

  • you want a reference implementation for OpenAI's CUA / Responses API
  • you need to prototype browser automation driven by an LLM agent
  • you want a working example of an operator UI with run replay and event logs
  • you are evaluating native computer-use actions versus code-execution browser control

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready agent framework rather than a sample app
  • you want to automate desktop applications instead of browser sessions
  • you need Python examples - the legacy Python sample is not in this branch
  • you cannot provide an OpenAI API key, since live runs are secret-gated
