    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides reliable desktop automation by accessing and controlling app UIs through OS accessibility trees using stable references instead of pixel-based guessing.
    • Ensures safe, retryable UI actions with stable element references and headless semantic operations, improving automation reliability across any accessible app.
    • Use for automating complex workflows in macOS apps like Finder, Safari, or Slack with precise UI element control via accessibility APIs.
    • Use for integrating AI agents that observe, decide, and act on desktop applications by leveraging progressive skeleton traversal to minimize data overhead.
    • Use for driving Chromium-based apps with verified Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoints while maintaining native UI accessibility for menus and dialogs.

    From the README

    agent-desktop gives any agent reliable computer use on the desktop. Built with Rust, it sees any app's real UI structure through OS accessibility trees and operates it — refs stay stable and actions stay safe to retry, instead of guessing from pixels.
