Open Computer Use is an open-source platform that gives AI agents real computer control. Unlike chatbots that only talk about tasks, agents here actually perform them — browsing the web, running commands, clicking through UIs, and orchestrating multi-step workflows.
Computer use capabilities similar to Anthropic's Claude Computer Use, but fully open-source and extensible.
Browser — Search-first web navigation, form filling, element interaction, multi-tab management, screenshot capture.
Terminal — Command execution, file operations, script running, package management, output streaming.
Desktop — Mouse & keyboard control, window management, screenshot analysis, UI element detection via computer vision.
Planner — Decomposes complex requests into subtasks, assigns to specialized agents, passes context between steps.
