AI computer use

Computer use means an AI model operating a computer the way a person does: it looks at the screen, then clicks, types, and moves through apps and websites to finish a task. In 2026 it ships in Claude Code and Claude Desktop / Cowork (Anthropic), Codex and the ChatGPT app (OpenAI), the Gemini API Computer Use tool (Google), and agents like Grok Bot that sign in to your tools and work on a cloud computer of their own.

This wall is a personal curation of official posts from those teams, plus links to their docs. AItier does not score these agents here. Rank the models on Models Rank, or rank the assistant products on the AI assistants board. Not an official Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or SpaceXAI page.

FAQ

What is AI computer use?
An AI model operating a computer the way a person does: it reads the screen, then clicks, types, and navigates apps and websites to finish a task. Browser agents are the same idea limited to a web browser.
Which products have computer use?
Per the official posts on this wall (as of October 2026): Claude Code and Claude Cowork / Claude Code Desktop (Anthropic, macOS and Windows), Claude in Chrome, Codex and the ChatGPT app (OpenAI, Mac and Windows, plus Chrome), the Gemini API Computer Use tool (Google), and Grok Bot, which works on its own cloud computer. Check each vendor's docs for current plans and limits.
Which computer use agent is best?
AItier does not declare a winner. Rank the models on Models Rank, or the assistant products (Grok Bot, Claude Cowork and others) on the AI assistants board, then export a PNG. That is your personal list, not a benchmark.
Is this official?
No. AItier is a personal AI tier list product. This page is not an official Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or SpaceXAI page or ranking.
