Let an AI agent do your copy-paste
Computer use lets an AI agent use a website the way you do: it clicks, reads the screen and decides the next step. Hand it one boring task in plain words.
The prompt
Go through my emails from the last 7 days and find every brand inquiry. Build a spreadsheet with one row per email and these columns: name, company, date, subject, and what they are asking for. Don't reply to, move or delete any email. When you're done, tell me how many rows you added.
How to use it
- Pick one boring browser task you repeat every week, like copying details from emails into a sheet.
- Give it to an agent with computer use in plain words, like the prompt above. It opens the site, clicks, reads the screen and fills the rows.
- Check what it did before you rely on it. With OpenAI's computer use, the browser runs in their hosted environment, and your app starts the session and sees every step.
