Cyberdesk Demo
A computer agent operating a Cyberdesk virtual desktop from a user prompt


import { createCyberdeskClient } from 'cyberdesk'; const cyberdesk = createCyberdeskClient({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' }); const launchResult = await cyberdesk.launchDesktop({ body: { timeout_ms: 10000 } }); const desktopId = launchResult.id; // Take a screenshot const screenshot = await cyberdesk.executeComputerAction({ path: { id: desktopId }, body: { type: 'screenshot' } }); // Left click at (100, 150) await cyberdesk.executeComputerAction({ path: { id: desktopId }, body: { type: 'click_mouse', x: 100, y: 150, button: 'left' } });
from cyberdesk import CyberdeskClient from cyberdesk.actions import click_mouse, screenshot, ClickMouseButton client = CyberdeskClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") result = client.launch_desktop(timeout_ms=10000) desktop_id = result.id # Take a screenshot screenshot_action = screenshot() screenshot_result = client.execute_computer_action(desktop_id, screenshot_action) # Left click at (100, 150) click_action = click_mouse(x=100, y=150, button=ClickMouseButton.LEFT) client.execute_computer_action(desktop_id, click_action)
