What are computer use agents?

Computer use agents are AI systems designed to interact with computer interfaces exactly like humans do—by viewing the screen via screenshots and executing mouse and keyboard actions based on what they see.

Is it safe to allow an AI to control my computer?

Direct access is high-risk. This skill emphasizes a 'Sandboxed Environment Pattern' using Docker and virtual desktops to isolate the agent from your host system and sensitive data.

Which AI models work best for computer use?

Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 4.5 Opus are specifically optimized for computer use, providing high-accuracy vision reasoning for UI elements like buttons and text fields.

What dependencies are required for desktop control?

Implementations typically require Python libraries like PyAutoGUI for input, PIL for image processing, and system tools like Xvfb or scrot for screen capture within Linux environments.
