Cua's human-control interface lets a person supply the actions in a computer-use workflow. Its announcement describes a browser interface that displays pending requests and screenshots, with controls for clicking and typing. A developer can use this mode directly or write a workflow that hands a stalled task to a person.
This is useful for understanding failures as well as completing tasks. Someone can step through the troublesome interaction and record their actions, producing a demonstration that can be inspected or used as training material. The supported capability is a human-controlled execution path; escalation depends on how the surrounding workflow is implemented.
