Computer-use agents control a real or virtual computer through screenshots and simulated input, so they can use any app, not just ones with an API. Examples include Operator and Perplexity Comet's agentic browsing; reliability and safety are the open challenges.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
A computer-use agent can drive any app through the screen, but it fails quietly when a click lands in the wrong place. This volume covers computer-use agents as engineering: the primitives of the agent loop, frameworks, memory and tools, serving costs, and the guardrails a production agent needs. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
Planning a computer-use agent that has to work reliably across real apps?
Send us the workflow you want automated, and we will map the agent loop, the failure points and the cost per run before any code is written. 250+ video products shipped since 2005.
