Official Description
Human-agent collaboration is changing, becoming more visual. The agents most teams ship today still
wait for us to type a paragraph to explain what we're looking at. They cannot see a screen, navigate
a UI that changes, or recover when an application throws an unexpected modal. That is the
architectural gap between agents that demo well and agents that work alongside real teams in real
software. Perception agents close it. They see and use computers the way people do, reason about
what they see, and act with clicks and keystrokes.
