# OpenAI CUA

> Integrate OpenAI CUA with Notte Browser Sessions

<Tip>
  STOP. Do not read past this section until you have read and followed [/quickstart.md](/quickstart.md).

  Goal: produce a reliable SDK automation script. The intended authoring flow is generate then edit, not write browser automation from scratch.

  Do not hand-write SDK code with element IDs, selectors, or form fields from memory. Element IDs, selectors, and field mappings must come from a live `observe()` call, CLI `notte page observe` output, or generated workflow code. Guessed browser targets fail on real pages.

  Use the Notte skill and CLI to inspect the live site, validate actions/selectors, handle auth/session state, and export workflow code with `notte sessions workflow-code` before using SDK docs or SDK code.

  SDK reference pages are for understanding, running, or editing generated workflow code. They are not the starting point for manually authoring the initial browser automation. SDK-first code is guesswork on real-world pages with dynamic selectors, auth state, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot behavior.

## Overview

This guide explains how to integrate OpenAI's Computer Use Agent (CUA) with Notte's browser infrastructure for automated web interactions.

CUA enables programmatic control of web interfaces through visual processing and contextual understanding. When integrated with Notte's browser infrastructure, it provides a scalable environment for running these automations in the cloud.

A demo is available at [bua.notte.com](https://bua.notte.com).

## Requirements

* An OpenAI API key with CUA access
* A Notte API key
* Python 3.11 or later

## Setup

Follow these steps to integrate CUA with Notte:

1. Clone the repository:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/openai/openai-cua-sample-app.git
```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash theme={null}
pip install -r "requirements.txt"
```

3. Set environment variables:

```bash theme={null}
NOTTE_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY
OPENAI_ORG=YOUR_OPENAI_ORG
```

4. Run the example:

```bash theme={null}
python cli.py --computer notte --input "go to hackernews, tell me the top news"
```

## CLI Options

Available command-line arguments:

* `--input`: Automation instructions (prompts if not provided)
* `--debug`: Enable debug logging
* `--show`: Enable screenshot capture
* `--start-url`: Set initial URL (default: `https://bing.com`)
