4 use cases

  • Type text into a Windows app and confirm it was saved

    Have a DSH agent type into an open Windows app, then read the text back to check the entry landed.

    View prompt
    Using the dsh-computer-use-win tools, type <text to enter> into the open <app name> window, then read the text back with the snapshot or ocr tools. Report whether the text was found in the window. Verify the read-back text matches the entered text before reporting success.

  • Search a desktop app and confirm a result with OCR

    Run a search in a Windows app whose controls are hidden, and use on-screen text recognition to confirm the result.

    View prompt
    With the dsh-computer-use-win tools, open <app name>, search for <search term>, and confirm that <expected text> appears. If the accessibility tree does not show the search box, use the ocr tool to locate visible text. Report the confirmed text and its location, and state clearly if it was not found.

  • Run a browser search and have an agent summarize results

    Open a browser window, run a search, check the results page, and get a short summary of what was done.

    View prompt
    Using the dsh-computer-use-win tools, open a browser, search for <query>, and confirm the results page shows <expected text>. Summarize what you did and what you verified in no more than five sentences. Do not report success unless the expected text was observed.

  • Watch an agent's desktop run and stop it with Esc

    Keep an on-screen view of what an agent is doing, and halt the run at once with Esc or your own shortcut.

    View prompt
    Using the dsh-computer-use-win tools, perform <low-risk desktop task> in <app name> and describe each step as you take it. Stop immediately if the user presses Esc, and report the final state as completed, sent but not confirmed, not completed, or stopped.
