<h1>Computer use, done <em>natively</em>.</h1>
<p>Most computer-use stacks feed the agent a screenshot and hope it can find a button by pixel. <strong>agent-desktop reads the OS accessibility tree directly</strong> — every element has a deterministic name, every action goes through the same native API a screen reader uses. Faster, cheaper, repeatable. Works with any harness, any model.</p>
