Old school automation is dying. “Computer-use” AI is taking over. Here's how to adapt before your competitors do ↓
Most teams still think AI can only read the web and draft text.
They’re missing the next leap: AI that actually uses a computer like a human.
Clicks. Types. Scrolls. Waits. Decides.
I recently discovered a model called Lux that does exactly this.
Instead of just calling APIs, it lives inside thousands of virtual desktops and practices real workflows.
It doesn’t “simulate” work – it actually runs software, fills forms, and manages dashboards.
One second per action.
Endless patience.
No context-switch fatigue.
Imagine this on your team.
• QA tests run overnight across real UIs.
• Sales ops gets clean CRM data without weekend imports.
• Ops dashboards stay updated without manual copy-paste.
The smartest part isn’t the speed.
It’s the control.
Lux uses three modes to balance planning, speed, and strict oversight so you decide how much freedom it gets.
That’s the hidden truth about AI agents: trust is the real bottleneck.
Here’s a simple way to start today:
↳ Pick 1 workflow that already happens on a desktop (forms, dashboards, QA).
↳ Time how long it takes a human in a week.
↳ Ask: if an AI could do this at 1 second per action, with review, what would that unlock?
The companies that win won’t just “use AI”.
They’ll give AI a seat in front of a real computer.
What’s one workflow on your screen right now you wish you could hand off to an AI this week?
