Computer Use & Automation

Computer Desktop Automation

AI tools and agents that can automatically operate your local desktop or Mac, letting you control tasks with natural language or automated workflows. These range from built-in OS tools with AI automations to standalone AI agents that actually interact with your computer UI and perform actions.

🧠 Built-In & Native macOS AI Features

🔹 Apple Intelligence + Shortcuts (macOS) - macOS integrates Apple Intelligence that can assist with tasks across apps - Combined with the Shortcuts app, you can build automation workflows — now with AI-powered steps (like text summarization or model actions) - Great for automating repetitive tasks without third-party AI

🤖 Full AI Agents That Can Control Your Mac

These are the newest category — tools that aim to operate your system's UI, manage files, launch apps, click buttons, or complete tasks on your behalf:

🔹 Screenpipe by mediar-ai (Most Popular) - 16,000+ GitHub stars — the most popular macOS MCP project - $2.8M funding with 85+ contributors and 20K downloads - Includes mcp-server-macos-use for direct macOS computer control - GUI automation via macOS Accessibility APIs (clicking, typing, app control) - Works with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible AI clients - MIT licensed, actively maintained with regular updates

🔹 Simular AI Agent (macOS & Windows) - Intelligence to control desktop tasks, automate actions, and assist workflows - Engineered as a native agent for your OS — interacts beyond just chat

🔹 MacOS Use / "AI for macOS control" Tools - Community-driven AI agents that take natural language commands and operate your Mac — like opening apps, managing files, typing text, etc.

🔹 MacOS-Agent (Open-Source) - A GitHub project where an AI model can listen for commands and control basic Mac functions

🔹 Output – AI Agent for Desktop - Works on Mac and Windows — designed to give your computer a "brain" that completes app tasks

🔹 Vercept/Vy - AI desktop interface that can automate repetitive actions with high accuracy

🔹 Claude Desktop + MCP (Model Context Protocol) - Claude Desktop with MCP servers enables local control of Windows/Mac systems - Windows-MCP — Lightweight MCP server for Windows desktop automation, enabling file navigation, application control, UI interaction, and QA testing - MCP + AutoHotkey (Windows) — UI automation via PowerShell and AutoHotkey for Windows desktop control - MCP + Playwright (Web) — Web browser automation and testing with AI-powered control - Capability-gated architecture where Claude decides actions, MCP executes, and your OS performs the work - Best for file operations, dev workflows, and knowledge work with real local control

🔹 Claude Code CoWork - Research preview from Anthropic for knowledge work automation beyond coding - Folder-based workspace access for file management, document processing, and workflow automation - Natural language commands for non-technical users (consultants, analysts, marketers, researchers) - Autonomous task execution with progress updates - Organizes downloads, extracts data from screenshots, drafts reports from notes - Available to Claude Max subscribers on macOS desktop app - Democratizes agentic AI for professionals beyond developers

📦 Local AI Platforms You Can Use to Build Custom Automation

If you want more control or want to build your own automation agents:

  • AnythingLLM — Local open-source AI platform you can customize (not automation by itself, but a foundation)
  • CUA / Agent-S Frameworks — Developer tools to build autonomous agents that control GUIs and OS tasks
  • Local LLM systems (e.g., LM Studio + MCP support) — You can run helper agents locally on your Mac, including models that can interface with files and local tools

👉 Note: This type of software is currently early and experimental — reliability and safety vary, and you'll often need to configure permissions (e.g., Accessibility to control UI).

🧩 Workflow & Automation Tools With AI Support

If you want smart automation (not full computer control but powerful task automation):

🔸 Microsoft Power Automate

AI-infused automation workflows that can operate apps and tasks. Linux/Mac support is more limited than Windows, but worth considering.

🔸 Inbox AI / Alter

Smart assistants that work within macOS apps to accelerate workflows (email, docs, scheduling, context awareness).

🛠 Important Security & Safety Notes

🔒 AI controlling your desktop can be powerful but risky.

Before enabling any desktop automation agent: - Only install trusted software - Review what permissions it requests (Accessibility, Full Disk Access, Screen Recording, etc.) - Consider sandbox or virtual environment setups for advanced agents
