I can understand why you want an AI to use a desktop. But it's still absurd to use the least efficient interface possible for interactions with the outer world.

Having said that, fun project, good luck :) I am sure quite a few people would want to try it.

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words!

I'm curious - what would you imagine as a better interface? The desktop approach has overhead, but the advantage is it can use ANY software (VS Code, browsers, GUI apps) without needing custom integrations for each tool.

Would love to hear your thoughts on alternatives!

APIs - MCP is the obvious better alternative, but as you said, most software and most online services don't provide a full API. Most none at all.
