We Gave AI Eyes and Hands on Windows - Here's How AI coding assistants can write 500 lines of code in seconds. But ask them to click a button? They're blind. While building - our AI platform launching next month - we hit this wall hard. Our agents needed to interact with the actual Windows desktop. Open apps. Click through dialogs. Read what's on screen. Test their own work. Nothing out there did what we needed. So we built it. The Problem We tried the screenshot approach first. Take a screenshot, send it to the AI, let it figure out where to click.
