What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Dry-run a goal to see the next step before any clicks

    Preview what the agent would do for one plain-English goal without touching your mouse or keyboard.

    View prompt
    In the typesafe-computer-use repo, run `uv run clicker "<goal>"` with no --act flag so it performs a dry run of one step. Report the action it would take and the reason it printed. Verify that no mouse or keyboard event was sent by checking that the command exited without the --act flag set.

  • Run a multi-step browser task on your Mac

    Give the agent a goal in plain English and let it click through a site for up to a set number of steps.

    View prompt
    In the typesafe-computer-use repo, run `uv run clicker "<goal>" --act --steps 20 --delay 3` and report the final answer and the stop reason. Verify that the run folder was written under runs/ and that the stop reason is one of done, low confidence, a stall, or the step limit.

  • Find out why a run failed and replay it offline

    Inspect one screen with clicker-inspect, then replay a saved run folder without a live screen.

    View prompt
    In the typesafe-computer-use repo, run `uv run clicker-inspect "<goal>"` and then open the saved run folder for the failed run under runs/. Report which action was chosen, what the OCR and accessibility tree showed, and where the decision went wrong. Verify that the annotated screen and payload were produced before drawing any conclusion.

  • Run jev on OSWorld desktop tasks to compare results

    Set up OSWorld beside jev and run one desktop task to see how the agent performs on a benchmark.

    View prompt
    In the typesafe-computer-use repo, run `scripts/osworld setup` and then `scripts/osworld run-jev chrome/  --ocr rapidocr` on a Linux host with KVM. Report the task result and any error from the setup. Verify that the run finished on the chrome/ task before comparing it to the GPT agent result.
