About Computer Agent
Computer Agent is a local AI agent that controls your computer through natural language instructions. It can take screenshots, move the mouse, click, type, and run terminal commands. Built with Tauri, React, and Rust, it supports two modes: Computer Use Mode (full desktop control via screenshots and cursor/keyboard) and Background Mode (async web automation via Chrome DevTools Protocol and terminal commands, without touching mouse/keyboard). Offers selectable AI models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) and push-to-talk shortcuts for both modes. Open source under Apache License 2.0.
