A capability in which a model operates a computer the way a human does, reading the screen, moving the cursor, clicking, and typing, rather than calling structured APIs. Pioneered by Anthropic's Claude, it lets agents automate software that has no API.
Deployments sandbox the environment, restrict which applications are reachable, and gate consequential actions behind human approval. That containment matters because the agent is operating real interfaces, including legacy enterprise systems.
