Frequently Asked
Questions
What makes piCUA different from software automation tools?
piCUA operates at the hardware level through PiKVM, giving it access to BIOS, the ability to work during OS crashes, and compatibility with any computer regardless of operating system or software configuration.
Do I need existing PiKVM hardware to use piCUA?
You can start without any existing PiKVM hardware. piCUA works with:
- Software-only trials for UI exploration and API testing
- Any compatible IP/KVM device (PiKVM recommended)
- Cloud-hosted KVM providers
To control pre‑boot flows (BIOS/firmware) or survive OS crashes, a KVM device is required. Without it, piCUA can still drive applications at the OS level where an agent or remote session is available.

Is piCUA suitable for production environments?
Yes. piCUA is designed for real‑world operations with:
- Role‑based access and per‑device permissions
- Audit logs for sessions, actions and tool execution
- Safe‑guards (confirmations, timeouts, rate limits)
- Webhooks and integrations for incident response
- Configurable model/provider policies
Production deployments typically pair piCUA with PiKVM (or compatible) for out‑of‑band control and high availability.

What AI models does piCUA support?
piCUA is model‑agnostic. You can bring your own API keys and switch providers per environment:
- OpenAI / Anthropic for general‑purpose reasoning and tool use
- Local/edge via Ollama or vLLM for private/on‑prem workloads
- Vision models for screen understanding and UI grounding
You can also configure fallbacks and provider preferences, so critical automations keep running even if one provider is rate‑limited or unavailable.
