Show HN: Cyberdesk, API for computer agents to control a desktop (open source)

Hey HN,

We built Cyberdesk – an open source API for building computer agents that can control a full virtual desktop: click, type, scroll, and more.

If you're working on an agent that needs to operate real apps (desktop apps, web apps in a browser, etc.), this saves you the headache of setting up and scaling VMs. Just call our API to start a desktop and send actions.

Our entire infrastructure, frontend, backend, and SDKs are open source.

Docs: https://docs.cyberdesk.io

Demo: https://cyberdesk.io

Cyberdesk is ideal if you’re:

- Building screenshot based computer use agents

- Tired of duct-taping Docker, VNC, and cloud infra together

- Curious about computer use

We’re early and would love feedback — whether it's UX/API design, missing features, or performance.

Happy to answer anything. Thanks!

Looks cool! If you're able to say - where/how do you run these virtual desktop instances?

It's on our production AKS cluster :) So fully scalable.

By the way, we've launched on ProductHunt btw! If you're interested in giving us an upvote (same for anyone else here!)
