computer
Drive a full desktop on the iii bus. Where the
browser worker gives an
agent a Chromium tab, computer gives it a whole screen: it hands the model a
screenshot, clicks and scrolls at the coordinates it reads off that image, and
types wherever the desktop's focus is. The harness discovers
computer::* as functions automatically, so a model sees the screen and acts on
it with no glue, and the console gets a live viewport of whatever the desktop is
doing.
The worker does the one thing no other worker can: capture the screen and move the cursor. Three drivers sit behind one surface, picked per session:
- native (no
endpoint, noimage): drive the local machine this worker runs on, capture and input injection built in. - sandbox (an
image): boot a fresh desktop inside an iii-sandbox microVM and drive it through iii primitives alone (sandbox::exec/sandbox::fs), with no socket into the guest. A fixed virtual display means 1:1 coordinates, no HiDPI or multi-monitor ambiguity, and nothing to grant on the host. - remote (an
endpoint): drive an already-running desktop through the executor inside it, over a WebSocket.computerconnects; that desktop boots out of band.
Everything else composes with workers that already exist: run commands and touch
files with the shell
worker, persist with state, schedule with cron.
Install
iii trigger compose::add worker=computerTo drive a throwaway desktop instead of your own machine, turn on the engine's
sandbox worker: it boots the microVM the image driver runs in. iii-sandbox
is built into the engine, so Compose cannot add it as a container
(compose::add refuses it). In a Compose project it goes under
engine.workers in worker-compose.yaml:
engine:
workers:
iii-sandbox:
auto_install: true
image_allowlist: [desktop]
custom_images:
desktop: ghcr.io/trycua/linux:24.04-slim-20261013-36bc520With an engine you run yourself (iii -c config.yaml), the same settings are a
list entry in its config.yaml (the engine reloads it live):
workers:
- name: iii-sandbox
config:
auto_install: true
image_allowlist: [desktop]
custom_images:
desktop: ghcr.io/trycua/linux:24.04-slim-20261013-36bc520sandbox::catalog::list shows what it can boot. For the image, see
Sandbox desktop image.
macOS, native driver only. Capture and input are permission-gated and macOS degrades both silently, so the worker checks and fails loud. Grant the app that runs the worker Screen Recording (without it every screenshot is the wallpaper with all windows stripped) and Accessibility (without it clicks and typing are dropped) in System Settings > Privacy & Security, then restart it. The sandbox driver needs neither.
Linux, native driver. On an X11 session (Xorg or Xvfb) a native session
captures and acts by coordinate like macOS/Windows; coordinates are physical
root pixels. Run a window manager: on a bare X server a click gives no keyboard
focus, so toolkits that wait for focus (egui, Bevy, Slint) ignore typed keys.
On a Wayland desktop (GNOME and KDE default to it) the session is
semantic-only: sessions::start reports coordinates: { supported: false },
screen is 0x0, screenshots and coordinate actions are refused with
unsupported_session, and you read and act by ref. Ref actions need the
AT-SPI bus; when accessibility is off, semantic.reason carries a warning
with the command that turns it on for the login session (gdbus call … IsEnabled '<true>'). The worker never runs it itself: it also persists
toolkit-accessibility=true in dconf. Chromium/Electron apps also need
--force-renderer-accessibility.
Quickstart
Start a session, look at the screen, click what you see:
# drive this machine: a bare start picks the native driver when neither
# sandbox_image nor default_endpoint is configured; '{"native": true}' always does
iii trigger computer::sessions::start --json '{}'
# -> { "session_id": "c1", "endpoint": "native", "os": "macos", "screen": { "width": 1512, "height": 945 }, "semantic": { "supported": true } }
# see the screen: an image block the vision model renders inline
iii trigger computer::screenshot --json '{"session_id":"c1"}'
# click a pixel read off that screenshot (top-left origin)
iii trigger computer::act --json '{"session_id":"c1","action":"click","x":640,"y":360}'
iii trigger computer::sessions::stop --json '{"session_id":"c1"}'Swap the first call for {"image":"desktop"} to boot a sandboxed Linux desktop
instead (see Sandbox desktop image), or
{"endpoint":"ws://host:8000"} to drive a remote one. Everything after that call
is identical: the session id is the only handle.
The same from a sibling worker:
use iii_sdk::protocol::TriggerRequest;
use iii_sdk::{register_worker, InitOptions};
use serde_json::json;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let iii = register_worker("ws://localhost:49134", InitOptions::default());
let started = iii
.trigger(TriggerRequest {
function_id: "computer::sessions::start".into(),
payload: json!({}),
action: None,
timeout_ms: Some(30_000),
})
.await?;
let session_id = started["session_id"].as_str().unwrap();
iii.trigger(TriggerRequest {
function_id: "computer::act".into(),
payload: json!({ "session_id": session_id, "action": "click", "x": 640, "y": 360 }),
action: None,
timeout_ms: Some(10_000),
})
.await?;
Ok(())
}The rest of the surface: computer::act — pointer actions addressed by
coordinate (click, right_click, double_click, move, drag, scroll) and keyboard
actions that land wherever the desktop's focus is (type with text,
press / hotkey with keys, e.g. ["cmd","c"]) —
computer::observe (a screenshot and, with include_a11y, an app's
accessibility tree), computer::find, computer::displays,
computer::sessions::list and computer::sessions::stop.
For commands and files, mind which machine you mean: on a native session the
desktop IS this host, so the
shell worker is the right
tool. A sandboxed desktop is reached with sandbox::exec / sandbox::fs, and
a remote one through its own guest executor — shell would run on the host
instead, which is a different machine entirely.
On a native session the worker also acts by element:
computer::observe { include_a11y: true, include_image: false } or
computer::find { selector: "button[name='Save']" } return lines carrying
[ref=…], and computer::act { action: "invoke" | "set_value" | "toggle" | "select", ref } acts on that element through the OS accessibility API — the
worker moves no mouse, sends no keys and sets no focus. The effect is not
verified; confirm with another find. Refs live until an observe with
include_a11y or a find with matches replaces them, any coordinate or
keyboard action (type, press, hotkey, console input included) runs on
any native session (they share the desktop), a timed-out, cancelled or
crashed accessibility call resets the session's executor, or the session
stops or the worker restarts. macOS needs Accessibility and Screen
Recording for the process running the worker. On Windows a password field's
value is hidden only when its name looks like a password (or the app itself
masks it): xa11y does not expose UIA's IsPassword. On Linux a password field
is recognised by its AT-SPI role, whatever its name. Remote and sandbox
sessions stay coordinate-only.
computer::run { app_name, goal, inputs } drives one app toward a goal in a
single call: each step, the judge
worker picks the next element and operation from the tree, the worker picks
the verb and acts by ref, and the run returns a status, its steps and the
tree with live refs. Text comes only from inputs, keyed by field label.
Without a judge worker it returns judge_unavailable and the tree; with a
dialog already open it returns blocked and touches nothing. The judge
it asks is judge_provider in this worker's configuration when set, else the
calling session's pick, else the judge hub's default.
Console
The worker ships its own console page (page computer): a session rail, a live
viewport fed by the live screencast, and click / type / scroll forwarding
straight into the desktop. With no desktop open (or after + in the rail) the
page shows a launcher: this machine, a sandbox picked from iii-sandbox's
catalog, or a remote endpoint. It is injected into any running console at
registration time — nothing to install, nothing to rebuild. Every computer::*
call in chat and traces renders through the same asset.
When an agent drives a session (computer::act, computer::run), a live
preview of it floats in a corner of the console, like the browser's and the
iOS simulator's: drag it, pinch or double-click to resize, tap to fan several
out, expand to open the page. A hidden card stays hidden while the agent keeps
acting, until two quiet minutes pass or a new computer::run starts. Nothing
pops for a session the page already shows in that window, or one without a
picture (Wayland).
Configuration
Stored in the configuration worker under the computer key; every field is
editable live from the console. The screencast rate applies to running
sessions; everything a driver is built with — endpoint, OS label, timeouts,
capture limits, and the sandbox display and network settings — is read at
sessions::start, so a change reaches sessions started after it.

The sandbox driver runs Xvfb, xdpyinfo, setsid, pgrep, xdotool,
ImageMagick's import and base64 inside the guest, then the image's own
desktop, the first it has: XFCE (startxfce4), mutter with a tint2 panel, or
openbox. An image with none shows a black screen and frameless windows. Any
image with those tools, for arm64 (Apple Silicon) and amd64, works as is:
- Ready to use, nothing to build:
ghcr.io/trycua/linux:24.04-slim-20261013-36bc520(MIT, about 490 MB, both architectures; pin a dated tag,24.04-slimmoves). It boots into XFCE (panel, dock with a terminal, files and a browser). Verified with a sandbox session that opens a window and closes it by a click. - With a browser:
ghcr.io/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts:computer-use-demo-latest(MIT, about 2.9 GB unpacked) adds Firefox, LibreOffice and xcalc, and boots into mutter with its own tint2 launcher panel. Firefox is OOM-killed at iii-sandbox's 512 MB: keepsandbox_memory_mbat 2048 or more. Verified on Apple Silicon with xcalc driven by clicks and Firefox navigated by typing a URL; the first boot pulls the image (about 90 s), later ones take under a second.
Register the image as the desktop entry of custom_images (see
Install), then start a session with { "image": "desktop" }.
In the console, the computer worker's settings (Sandbox desktop) pick the
default image among iii-sandbox's custom_images, shown as name — OCI ref,
and size the VM (memory, CPUs); a new OCI image goes into custom_images
first, since iii-sandbox only boots names from its catalog.
iii-sandbox boots on macOS Apple Silicon (libkrun) and Linux (/dev/kvm).
Custom trigger types
Sibling workers (and the console page) subscribe to session activity instead of
polling. Every binding accepts an optional { "session_id": "..." } filter.
| Trigger type | Fires when | Payload to subscribers |
|---|---|---|
computer::session-started |
A session connected and is ready | { session_id, endpoint, os, screen, timestamp } |
computer::session-stopped |
A session ended | { session_id, reason: "stopped" | "idle", timestamp } |
computer::activity |
A computer::act call reached a session, or a computer::run started on it |
{ session_id, function, timestamp } |
Live screen
computer::screencast::start / stop, computer::frame and the
computer::frame-changed trigger type drive the live viewport. The worker
captures at screencast_fps and keeps only the newest frame per session in
memory (no history). After each frame it fires computer::frame-changed with a
small, image-free notification; the viewer reads the frame with
computer::frame (notify, then fetch), so the console and any number of
watchers follow the desktop without polling, and a slow watcher skips frames
instead of queueing them.
Each viewer (the page, a corner preview, in any console window) calls start
when it opens and stop when it closes; the capture runs while one remains,
and one nobody follows any more (a window closed without a stop) stops by
itself after 10 seconds.
| Trigger type | Fires when | Payload to subscribers |
|---|---|---|
computer::frame-changed |
A new frame was stored (change: "updated"), or the frame was dropped because the screencast or session stopped (change: "cleared") |
{ session_id, epoch, frame_seq, change, width, height, mime?, bytes?, timestamp } |
The binding config { "session_id": "..." } is required (a viewer follows
one desktop). Order frames by (epoch, frame_seq); epoch changes when the
worker restarts or restores the session. Bind first, then read
computer::frame once for the current frame; read it again after each
notification (pass since_frame to skip an unchanged image) and after a
reconnect. These are internal console plumbing rather than agent surface, and
stay out of agent function lists.
