In simple English
This tool lets you type what you want done on your computer, like booking a flight or changing a settings file. A visual AI reads your screen, moves your mouse, and clicks the right buttons for you. You can run it on your own machine or connect to a remote one. It requires a powerful vision model API key to work, which can cost money based on usage. Setting it up takes some technical steps.
