computer-use-browser-desktoplisted

Drive a real browser and Linux desktop in the cloud (computer use) — a full GUI with Chrome, a 60fps stream for visibility, and the Lux agent for automating clicks/typing/logins. Use for visual UI checks, logging into web apps, testing Electron apps, or any GUI task that can't be done over plain shell. Records demo videos automatically.

# Computer use: browser + desktop (Box) Use this when a task needs a **real GUI**, not just a shell: logging into a web app, validating a rendered UI, controlling Chrome, testing an Electron app, or recording a demo. Box runs a full Linux desktop with Chrome; the **Lux** agent automates desktop/browser interactions and auto-records the session. ## Recipe ```bash box_id="$(box new --json | jq -r 'select(.event == "ready") | .id')" # Get a live desktop stream URL (60fps WebRTC, or VNC over HTTPS on bad networks) box desktop "$box_id" --json # Automate a GUI goal with Lux (records to /home/user/lux-demos/) box ssh "$box_id" -- "lux start 'log in to example.com and screenshot the dashboard'" box ssh "$box_id" -- "lux run --max-steps 30" box ssh "$box_id" -- "lux status" ``` ## Why Box - **Real desktop + Chrome** — does GUI work headless setups can't. - **Two stream modes** — 60fps WebRTC (Moonlight) for quality, VNC-over-HTTPS for reliability on restrictive networks. - **Auto-recorded demos** — every Lux run produces a video artifact. ## Prereqs `curl -fsSL https://box.ascii.dev/install | sh`, then `box login "$BOX_API_KEY" --json`. ## Limits EU-only; 100 active VMs soft cap. For massive parallel headless browser fleets, dedicated browser providers (Browserbase) scale further; Box is best when you need a *full machine* behind the browser.
