Beta — This feature is currently in beta and may change.
The Computer Use connection gives your agents access to a full Windows desktop environment, letting them click, type, navigate applications, and interact with desktop software just like a person would. This is especially valuable for automating Windows-native applications, legacy systems without APIs, and multi-application workflows that span desktop programs.

​
Setup

No setup required. The Computer Use connection is available for any agent. Add it to your agent from the Connections panel in the agent builder.

​
Route traffic through your network with OpenVPN (optional)

If your agents need to reach systems that are only available inside a private network, you can route the desktop’s traffic through your own OpenVPN server. This is optional — without it, the desktop uses direct internet access. Your team’s OpenVPN config — the .ovpn file your network admin provided, plus an optional username and password if your VPN uses password authentication — is set up in Team Settings and applied to the agents that need it. Credentials are encrypted at rest and are never returned by the API. Once an agent is set to use a VPN, the tunnel is established before the agent starts working, and all of the desktop’s traffic flows through it. If the tunnel cannot be established, the run stops rather than continuing outside the VPN.

Capabilities

  • Control desktop applications — Open, navigate, and operate any Windows application, including Office, custom business software, and legacy systems.
  • Click and type — Click buttons, menu items, and UI elements, and type into text fields, forms, and dialog boxes.
  • Sign in with stored Logins — Use saved logins from Logins and Secrets to sign in to applications and websites, including one-time 2FA codes, without exposing passwords to the agent.
  • Navigate multi-step workflows — Complete processes that span multiple windows and applications.
  • Read screen content — Capture and interpret what’s displayed on the desktop to make informed decisions.
  • Transfer files — Move files between applications, save documents, and work with local file systems.
  • Handle dialog boxes — Respond to prompts, confirmations, and alerts that appear during automation.

​
Key Benefits

  • Beyond the browser — Automate desktop applications that have no web interface or API, including legacy Windows software and thick-client applications.
  • Visual interaction — Duvo operates the desktop the same way a human would, so complex UI workflows work without technical integration.
  • Live visibility — Watch the desktop in real-time as your agent works, with the ability to intervene or guide the process.
  • Session continuity — Follow-up messages preserve the desktop state, so open applications and files remain available across interactions.
  • Full audit trail — Every click, keystroke, and screenshot is captured, giving you a complete record of what the agent did.
