computer control

Google is developing a Gemini agent for macOS that will control computers, organize files, and integrate with Google Workspace apps. Code analysis reveals features including file conversion to Google Sheets, folder organization, batch file renaming, and meeting follow-up automation.

OpenAI's Codex Desktop can now control your computer, run background automations, and includes an in-app browser with click-to-select elements. The update adds automation memory across sessions and access to over 100 curated plugins, though the computer control feature is MacOS-only and unavailable in the EU.
