Use Cases & Benefits
- Enables AI agents to interact with desktop applications on macOS and Windows by observing and controlling UI elements like buttons, text, and windows.
- Provides a controlled, state-aware interface for AI to operate desktop software when no direct API or command-line integration is available.
- Use for automating tasks in legacy desktop apps that lack APIs by simulating user interactions through UI observation and control.
- Use for integrating AI agents with graphical applications to perform complex workflows involving clicking, typing, scrolling, and waiting for UI changes.
- Use for developing assistive technologies that require AI to understand and manipulate standard desktop interfaces on macOS 14+ and Windows.

From the README
pi-computer-uselets AI agents use desktop apps on macOS and Windows.The macOS helper requires macOS 14 or newer.
An agent can look at an app window, understand the buttons and text inside it, and perform actions like clicking, typing, scrolling, and waiting for something to change. This is useful when the agent needs to work with a normal desktop app instead of an API, a terminal command, or a file.
New to computer use? Start with: Wait, what exactly is Computer Use?
This is a Pi extension. After installation, Pi agents get tools for:
In short: it gives an agent a controlled way to operate desktop software.
pi-computer-useis not a replacement for app APIs or MCP servers. If an app has a reliable direct integration, use that first.Computer use is most helpful when the only available interface is the app on screen.
