Apple is best positioned to run with the implications of these developments (though Microsoft will probably respond too) with both their historic operating system control hooks and their architecturally grounded respect for privacy (arguably of course). Apple seems to be paying very close attention to LLM developments, I doubt they will rush out an 80/20 response to these LLM agent control use cases, but I would be surprised if they didn't enter this product space.

Any anecdotes about how many $ of API credits this thing costs to run for a simple task like booking a flight?

ran it in a Windows Sandbox ... doesn't work. messes up the coordinates, can't click on anything

Set a job to have it reboot the system, set it to run on boot, achieve AI-hyped useless machine!

How hard would it be to finetune a local VLM for computer use? Sonnet 3.5 is reaaaallly expensive.

Why would I let an AI (controlled by a company) to control my computer? Thanks, but no thanks.

Anyone else getting 400s with "This action is restricted for safety reasons at this time" when trying to use the app? I don't see any docs that mention you have to manually enable the API or anything.

Alas, setup is not as simple as downloading and running "agent.exe".
