Computer Use Protocol - A universal protocol for AI agents to interact with any desktop UI

SMRTR summary

Computer Use Protocol (CUP) creates a single standard format for AI agents to understand and control user interfaces across Windows, macOS, Linux, web browsers, Android, and iOS. The protocol solves platform incompatibility by translating accessibility systems into one unified language with 59 standardized roles, 16 states, and 15 action types like click, scroll, and type. CUP's compact text format uses 97% fewer tokens than JSON, allowing complex interfaces to fit efficiently into AI language model context windows, while Python and TypeScript SDKs enable cross-platform automation tools.
