# Computer Use

A capability allowing AI models to interact with standard software interfaces like a human—moving cursors, clicking, and typing in non-API applications.

## Business Value

Enables automation of legacy systems that lack modern APIs, saving millions in modernization costs.

## Context Studios Perspective

This is the 'Last Mile' of automation. We use Computer Use to bridge the gap between modern AI and legacy ERP systems that haven't been updated in decades.
