Vercel Labs Open-Sources agent-desktop for Agent Computer Use

Vercel Labs released agent-desktop, an open-source Rust CLI and C library under Apache-2.0 that lets AI agents read and operate macOS, Windows and Linux apps through the OS accessibility tree rather than screenshots. Version 1.0.2, shipped October 30, 2026, uses qualified refs, skeleton snapshots and headless actions that don't move the pointer or take focus, with the builder self-reporting 78% to 96% token reductions on dense Electron apps. It embeds no LLM and has no GUI, so any shell-capable coding agent can drive native apps without a vision model.
