Computer Use is OpenAI’s feature that enables AI models to interact with computers like humans do - through screen observation, cursor movement, and keyboard input. By integrating with Kernel, you can run Computer Use automations with cloud-hosted browsers, allowing your AI agents to navigate websites, fill forms, and interact with web applications autonomously.

​
Quick setup with our Computer Use example app

Get started quickly with our Kernel app template that includes a pre-configured Computer Use integration: 
npx @onkernel/create-kernel-app my-computer-use-app
Choose TypeScript or Python as the programming language and then select CUA Sample as the template. Then follow the Quickstart guide to deploy and run your Computer Use automation on Kernel’s infrastructure.

​
Benefits of using Kernel with Computer Use

  • No local browser management: Run Computer Use automations without installing or maintaining browsers locally
  • Scalability: Launch multiple browser sessions in parallel for concurrent automations
  • Stealth mode: Built-in anti-detection features for web interactions
  • Session persistence: Maintain browser state across automation runs
  • Live view: Debug your automations with real-time browser viewing
