Agent S

Open-source computer use agent operating GUI interfaces via mouse and keyboard

Visit github.com ↗

Agent S is an open-source agentic framework that allows multimodal AI models to operate desktop and web software like a human user. By interpreting screen visuals and generating mouse, keyboard, and scroll actions, it completes multi-step tasks across apps without custom APIs. Its third-generation version (Agent S3) and related hosted agent Sai lead benchmarks like OSWorld.

What it's for

  • Automate complex multi-step workflows across desktop and browser apps
  • Benchmark and evaluate computer-use agents on OSWorld and WindowsAgentArena
  • Conduct autonomous web research, trip planning, and price comparisons
  • Execute repetitive cross-application data entry without dedicated APIs

Features

  • GUI interaction via mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and scrolling
  • Direct visual perception of desktop and browser screens
  • Multi-OS support across macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Compatibility with multiple model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-weight models
  • Distribution via the gui-agents Python package
  • Autonomous planning and step-by-step reasoning sidebar
