Cua Driver brings multi-cursor background computer use
Cua Driver is a macOS computer-use driver that lets agents operate apps in the background without stealing focus, and this demo pairs it with Hermes Agent and local Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-4bit. The result is a Codex-like workflow for parallel desktop automation that stays open source and self-hostable.
// ANALYSIS
This is the right layer split: keep the OS-control primitive separate from the model, then let Hermes swap in whatever LLM is practical. The real shift is UX, not raw capability: backgrounded agent actions make computer-use feel usable in a working developer session instead of a full-screen takeover.
- –Cua Driver's no-foreground behavior is the key differentiator; the user keeps control while the agent works elsewhere.
- –Multi-cursor background support points to concurrent agent workflows, not just one-off automation runs.
- –Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-4bit makes the stack viable on local or self-hosted hardware, which is the main appeal for privacy-sensitive builders.
- –Hermes Agent supplies the orchestration layer, so this is really an agent runtime plus control surface, not a model demo.
- –Reliability and safety are still the question marks; desktop automation only becomes production-grade when permissions, recovery, and auditability are boring.
