# TuriX CUA

> TuriX is an open-source computer-use agent (CUA) that lets AI models take real desktop actions on macOS, Windows, and Linux using natural language commands.

TuriX is an open-source computer-use agent built by Shenzhen-based NGT-LTD (新升代科技), designed to let AI models operate a desktop the same way a human would — clicking, typing, and navigating across any application without requiring app-specific APIs. The core repository is published under the MIT License on GitHub and also ships as a downloadable desktop app called TuriX SuperAgent. The project targets both personal productivity and enterprise automation workflows.

## What It Is

TuriX CUA (Computer-Use Agent) is a Python-based agent framework that combines a vision-language model (VLM) "brain" with a specialized "actor" model to perceive screen content and execute GUI actions. It works across browsers, office suites, messaging apps, and in-house tools — anything a human can click, TuriX can attempt to automate. The agent architecture separates planning, acting, and memory into distinct model roles, each configurable via a single `config.json` file.

## Benchmark Performance

According to the project's README, TuriX scores **64.2% (229.88 / 358)** on the full OSWorld benchmark, ranking **3rd overall** among all submitted agents at 50 steps. On the team's self-hosted OSWorld-style Mac benchmark, the README reports an **80%+ success rate**. The README notes that TuriX was built and optimized for macOS and used zero Linux training data to achieve its OSWorld ranking.

## Architecture and Key Capabilities

TuriX separates its agent into four configurable model roles — brain, actor, memory, and planner — each pointing to any compatible VLM provider:

- **Hot-swappable models**: Switch between TuriX API models, Gemini, Qwen3-VL, Ollama local models, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via `config.json`
- **No app-specific APIs required**: Operates through the GUI layer, so it works with WhatsApp, Excel, Outlook, and proprietary enterprise tools
- **MCP-ready**: Exposes a Model Context Protocol interface so Claude for Desktop or any MCP-compatible agent can call TuriX as a skill
- **Skills system**: Markdown playbooks stored in a `skills/` folder; the planner selects relevant skills by name and description, while the brain receives full instructions
- **Task resume**: Persistent memory via `memory.jsonl` allows interrupted tasks to be resumed with the same `agent_id`

## Platform and Setup Path

The open-source repository supports macOS 15+ (Apple Silicon), Windows 10+, and Linux (Ubuntu tested), each on separate branches. Setup requires Python 3.12, a conda environment, and macOS Accessibility + Safari Automation permissions. A pre-built desktop app (TuriX SuperAgent) is also available for download from the official website for users who prefer not to run from source.

## Update: TuriX SuperPower 3.0.0-alpha and SuperAgent Launch

The README's latest news section records several significant milestones:

- **May 11, 2026**: TuriX SuperAgent became available for download from the official website
- **April 8, 2026**: TuriX SuperPower 3.0.0-alpha launched for macOS Apple Silicon, combining TuriX CUA + CLI in one workflow and adding **TuriX-work** (office task orchestration) and **TuriX-code** (coding and engineering automation)
- **March 16, 2026**: Linux support added on the `multi-agent-linux` branch
- **Earlier 2026**: v0.3 shipped DuckDuckGo integration, Ollama support, recoverable memory compression, and the Skills system; Qwen3-VL support and TuriX API model upgrades followed

The latest GitHub release is tagged **v0.4**, published March 6, 2026. The repository had 3,071 stars and 313 forks as of the last recorded update.

## Open-Source and Commercial Dual Track

The core CUA framework is MIT-licensed and free for personal and research use. A commercial SaaS product at ngtechai.com offers a subscription-based desktop app with credit-based task execution, enterprise customization, and a dedicated TuriX API platform at turixapi.io. The open-source repo and the commercial app share the same underlying agent technology but serve different deployment needs.
