Showing 2 of 2 tools
Computer-use agents control desktop applications, files, terminals and the operating system to complete tasks, much like a person using a mouse and keyboard. They can work with apps that have no API.
Choosing a computer-use agent
Compare supported operating systems, how the agent sees the screen, reliability on your apps, speed, whether it runs in a virtual machine or on your real desktop and how you can watch, pause or stop it.
Safety first
Run agents in a separate virtual machine or user account where possible, limit access to sensitive files and accounts and require approval before deleting files, sending messages or making payments.
