Computer Use is OpenAI's feature that enables AI models to interact with computers the way humans do—by looking at screens, moving cursors, clicking buttons, and typing text. This powerful feature allows AI agents to control web browsers, navigate interfaces, and perform complex tasks across applications.
By integrating Computer Use with Kernel, you can run these AI-powered browser automations on cloud-hosted infrastructure, eliminating the need for local browser management and enabling scalable, reliable AI agents.
Get started quickly with our Kernel app template that includes a pre-configured Computer Use integration:
npx @onkernel/create-kernel-app my-computer-use-appChoose 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.
- 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
- Check out live view for debugging your automations
- Learn about stealth mode for avoiding detection
- Learn how to properly terminate browser sessions
- Learn how to deploy your Computer Use app to Kernel
