Computer Use

Targeting and Observation

  • The operator should identify the target application, window, and intended outcome before interaction.
  • Screen observation should precede state changes, with the proposed next action made clear.
  • Menu, navigation, and read actions provide a safer starting point than typing, submitting, or changing settings.
  • Automation should stop once the requested narrow GUI operation is complete.

Safe Operation

  • This is a high-risk local-control capability that can operate real applications and expose private screen content.
  • Credential entry, payment flows, destructive file operations, account-setting changes, and other irreversible actions require direct user instruction.
