Show HN: I spent 3 months making desktop automation stop lying to AI agentshttps://github.com/lahfir/agent-desktop/tree/mainThat's a bold claim. But I genuinely feel like I might have actually solved computer use (demo: https://x.com/mdlahfir/status/2088109763783700827?s=20)For context, I've been building agent-desktop (Inspired by agent-browser by Vercel Labs), an automation CLI for desktop apps. It's like Playwright but for desktops, not just native, but for Chromium apps as well. Trust me, yes, Chromium apps whose accessibility tree is dense.MacOS is GA; I'm almost close to launching for Windows and Linux!So, how did I solve it?Basically interoperability.The biggest issue with computer use is that we have reliable frameworks for browser use, like Playwright, agent-browser, and many more, but not the same with desktops.We have really good solutions emerging, like tryCua, which I'm a big fan of. My vision with agent-desktop is to build the most reliable framework that agents can use for long-horizon tasks.agent-desktop is lightweight, built on Rust, fast, and not token-hungry (It can go for hours without eAug 15, 2026 5:07 AM
