Empower AI to Control Your Windows Desktop Apps
Automate clicks and typing across Windows applications.
Install the Computer Use plugin in Codex to allow the AI to interact directly with your desktop environment, including mouse clicks and keyboard input.
The Scenario
You are working with legacy Windows applications that don't have APIs, and you need to move data between them and your modern workspace tools.
Before & after
Manually clicking through enterprise software to extract data and paste it into local Excel sheets usually takes 20–30 minutes of repetitive work.
Using Codex Computer Use on Windows, you can task the AI to perform these cross-app actions for you in 2–4 minutes while you focus on other work.
The Prompt
@computer-use Please open [APP NAME], navigate to the [SPECIFIC SECTION], and copy the table data into a new [EXCEL/CSV] file on my desktop. Notify me when it's done.
The Computer Use plugin for Windows allows Codex to interact with the OS UI directly. You can even start the task on your PC and monitor/steer it from your mobile device via the iOS or Android app.
