Computer-use agent

An AI assistant that uses a computer like a person does, viewing the screen and clicking, typing, and scrolling to complete tasks.

A computer-use agent is an AI tool that carries out tasks by operating a computer interface the way a person would. It looks at what is on the screen, then moves the mouse, clicks buttons, types text, and scrolls through pages to reach a goal. This matters because it can handle multi-step chores across ordinary apps without needing special connections. For example, you might ask one to open a spreadsheet, find rows marked overdue, and put those details into an email draft for you to review. Because it can take real actions, keep an eye on it and limit access to sensitive accounts or files.
