Tier C

C

Early: a small team.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • team 1-10
  • investors: Y Combinator
  • went through Y Combinator Spring 2025
  • in curated RL directories (5 pts)

On X · unclear, low buzz, from 1 post about Cua in the last month

A single post notes Google DeepMind and Cua published a joint tutorial on using Gemini with Cua Driver for background desktop automation.

How we got to tier C
  1. Adoption: team 1-10; investors: Y Combinator; went through Y Combinator Spring 2025. Tier C.
  2. On X: unclear, low buzz. “A single post notes Google DeepMind and Cua published a joint tutorial on using Gemini with Cua Driver for background desktop automation.” No move.
  3. In curated RL directories: 5 points, a floor of C.
  4. Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
