OpenAI has released official documentation and API tooling for Computer Use, allowing artificial intelligence models to view screens, click interfaces, and operate desktop and browser applications autonomously.
The platform introduces code execution workflows for frontier models like GPT-6 Astra, enabling developers to automate repetitive data entry, software testing, and cross-application workflows through standard user interfaces.
Perplexity has introduced Portable Computer, a local-first version of its agentic platform that allows users to run autonomous research and task workflows entirely on their own desktop hardware.
By executing orchestration, models, and tools locally, the software keeps confidential documents secure on the device while eliminating cloud token billing fees.
