The Autonomous Computer: Full-stack Infrastructure for Computer Use Agents

Summary

Ang Li's workshop frames computer-use agents as an infrastructure problem, not just a model-capability problem. The session centers on Simular's approach to making autonomous computer workflows repeatable: agents should act through structured, selector-based code and a dedicated substrate such as Simulang rather than relying only on vision models clicking pixels. The official description points to a production-oriented playbook drawn from two years of Simular platform work, including architectural choices around references over pixels and a live comparison between a 30-step unattended Windows workflow and a vision-only baseline.

The linked supporting material is not a confirmed recording of this exact session. It points instead to an adjacent AI Engineer video about wielding coding agents, with extracted slides available as context. Those materials are useful for the broader theme of coding agents as a new operational interface, while Ang Li's scheduled talk is specifically about full-stack infrastructure for computer-use agents and Simular's autonomous-computer platform.

Official Description

Even the world's best computer-use agents cannot repeat their successes at the moment. Agents that

write code — emitting structured selector-based actions instead of clicking pixels — break through

that ceiling. We'll share two years of experience from Simular's production agent platform, the

architectural decisions that mattered (refs over pixels, code as substrate, Simulang DSL), and a

live demo: a 30-step unattended Windows workflow, side-by-side with a vision-only baseline. If

you're shipping agents to real users, this is the playbook.
