01 In brief
Summary
CUA-SUITE is a large-scale ecosystem of human-annotated video demonstrations for training and evaluating desktop computer-use agents (CUAs).
It addresses the scarcity of continuous, high-quality human demonstration videos, which recent work identifies as critical for scaling agents.
The core resource, VIDEOCUA, provides approximately 10,000 human-demonstrated tasks across 87 professional desktop applications, totaling about 55 hours and 6 million frames of continuous 30 fps video, with kinematic cursor traces and multi-layered reasoning annotations averaging 497 words per step.
This is more than 2.5 times the size of the largest existing open dataset, ScaleCUA.
CUA-SUITE also includes UI-VISION, a benchmark for evaluating grounding and planning, and GROUNDCUA, a grounding dataset with 56K annotated screenshots and over 3.6 million UI element annotations.
Preliminary evaluations show current foundation action models struggle with professional desktop applications, achieving only 37.7% @50px accuracy and 57.6% human-verified stepwise accuracy.
The continuous video format supports emerging research directions such as generalist screen parsing, continuous spatial control, visual world models, and video-based reward modeling.
All data and models are publicly released.

Abstract
Computer-use agents (CUAs) hold great promise for automating complex desktop workflows, yet progress toward general-purpose agents is bottlenecked by the scarcity of continuous, high-quality human demonstration videos. Recent work emphasizes that continuous video, not sparse screenshots, is the critical missing ingredient for scaling these agents. However, the largest existing open dataset, ScaleCUA, contains only 2 million screenshots, equating to less than 20 hours of video. To address this bottleneck, we introduce CUA-Suite, a large-scale ecosystem of expert video demonstrations and dense annotations for professional desktop computer-use agents. At its core is VideoCUA, which provides approximately 10,000 human-demonstrated tasks across 87 diverse applications with continuous 30 fps screen recordings, kinematic cursor traces, and multi-layerfed reasoning annotations, totaling approximately 55 hours and 6 million frames of expert video. Unlike sparse datasets that capture only final click coordinates, these continuous video streams preserve the full temporal dynamics of human interaction, forming a superset of information that can be losslessly transformed into the formats required by existing agent frameworks. CUA-Suite further provides two complementary resources: UI-Vision, a rigorous benchmark for evaluating grounding and planning capabilities in CUAs, and GroundCUA, a large-scale grounding dataset with 56K annotated screenshots and over 3.6 million UI element annotations. Preliminary evaluation reveals that current foundation action models struggle substantially with professional desktop applications (~60% task failure rate). Beyond evaluation, CUA-Suite's rich multimodal corpus supports emerging research directions including generalist screen parsing, continuous spatial control, video-based reward modeling, and visual world models. All data and models are publicly released.
