What is Computer Use?

It is the ability of artificial intelligence to see the screen and manage the computer using a mouse and keyboard, just like a human.

Overview

This technology allows AI to interact with the computer interface like a user, not just type text. Artificial intelligence detects windows, buttons and menus on the screen; then performs actions such as clicking, typing, or dragging. In this way, it becomes possible to automate complex software processes.

Analogy: You can think of it as if an assistant is sitting in front of the computer and doing the work for you by holding the mouse and pressing the keyboard.

How it works

Artificial intelligence takes a snapshot of the screen, analyzes it and decides what action needs to be taken. It then sends this decision as a command to the computer's operating system. You just watch the result.

Where it is used

It is used in tasks that require complex data entry, when browsing websites, or in tasks that use multiple applications together.

Commonly confused with

It is very close to the concept of AI Agent, but Computer Use is a specific set of capabilities that focus specifically on on-screen interface control.

Frequently asked questions

Is this feature safe?

It's safe as long as you can control what operations you allow the AI ​​to perform, but human approval is always recommended for critical operations.
