jev-use

Cua ships jev-use in dev preview: Jev-powered computer-use decisions plus skills over MCP

Cua released jev-use, a dev preview pairing TypeSafe's Jev with Cua Driver so the quick decisions in an agent's trajectory — click, type, scroll, which element — are deferred to a System 1 model. On Cua's 80-task computer-use test, Jev handled 71 tasks at roughly 0.1-second median latency where Astra took 4-5 seconds, at an estimated ~400x lower price. Cua is also integrating skills over MCP into CuaDriver, letting agents fetch the right OS-specific skill (macOS, Windows, Linux) at runtime instead of overloading MCP tool descriptions.

Computer History

Cua open-sources Computer History, memory for computer-use agents

Cua released an open-source take on Codex Computer History: instead of agents rediscovering which buttons to push every time, Computer History banks successful trajectories and accessibility trees in an encrypted key store that stays on device — deliberately recording no screenshots (the anti-Windows-Recall design). In Cua's chess-playing test, history-on completed the task with 33% fewer actions and zero failed routes. Shipped for all three major operating systems on Cua's cross-platform Rust harness.
