The Bottleneck in CAD CUA Datasets: Capturing Intent vs Clickstreams
jakedahn · x · 2026-08-11
Following Markov (YC S26)'s release of Computer Use Agent (CUA) datasets for CAD and design, a developer raised a critical question: do these datasets capture user intent?
- The Core Issue: Current datasets often only record surface-level "click streams" without understanding the "why" behind the operations.
- Impact: Without intent data, AI agents might be stuck merely "imitating" human steps rather than truly comprehending the parts being designed.
This discussion highlights a major bottleneck for training vertical-specific AI agents.
