Human-looking cursors for computer-use agents

The problem

Computer-use demos fail the moment the pointer jumps, both for users watching and for sites that notice.

Who would pay for this?

Developers building computer-use agents.

How could it make money?

A possible model is open source. That is an editorial guess from the shape of the launch, not a published price, and not evidence that Cua uses it.

What would the MVP look like?

A handful of recorded motions and a function that plays one between two points.

Product that inspired this idea

Hand-timed mouse motions for an agent cursor, picked from a playground of 82. The set is open source.

• A coding agent that runs a small model in the browser

  A coding assistant that runs locally in the browser on a small model, for people who will not send the repo out.

• A desktop for making games with the model you already pay for

  A local app that turns a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or a local model, into a game-making bench.
