Computer use agents
Autonomous browser operators that stay on mission for days
Give your team maximum agency with long-running AI agents that work inside the browser just like your best operator. Edit their context mid-flight, review memories, inject new research paths, and let them pull in web search, knowledge, and downstream automations while they keep the tabs open for hours or days.
Agents run multi-day browser missions with automatic checkpointing and recovery.
Editable context panes let humans steer priorities, tone, and guardrails at any moment.
Persistent memories capture every decision, artifact, and status update for audit.
Integrated web search, retrieval, and automations keep progress compounding without APIs.
Measure autonomous computer use from the first run
Kata dashboards track mission runtime, guardrail hits, human edits, and resolved outcomes so you can scale browser automation with confidence.

Deploy a computer-use mission in three steps
The computer-use bundle ships with connectors, prompts, telemetry, and guardrails so your team can focus on the mission design—not the plumbing.
Blueprint the mission
Capture triggers, guardrails, and SLAs so the agent knows when to start, pause, or escalate.
Load context & memories
Sync instructions, knowledge modules, and editable context panes that humans can tweak live.
Launch, monitor, and expand
Start in shadow mode, track telemetry, then graduate to autonomous runs with guardrails and alerts.
Shift the heavy browser work to autonomous agents
We will help you define the first mission, wire in context editing, and set up the telemetry so your team retains full control while agents stay laser-focused on execution.
