You're probably sleeping on computer use.
At Every, we’re handing agents chores that once required opening an app and clicking through a series of steps. Computer use lets AI click, type, and navigate those apps for you.
Here are 17 ways our team is using it:
1. Fill out school forms.
2. Update six course presentations with new screenshots, assets, and hundreds of small edits.
3. Make video edits.
4. Check every link in a book’s PDF proofs, verify that each destination matches the surrounding text, and collect problems in a spreadsheet.
5. Find an old maintenance request and submit a follow-up about a missing dishwasher.
6. Add kids’ school and camp events to a calendar.
7. Browse iPhone photos, identify items to sell, and create marketplace listings.
8. Clear WhatsApp storage through iPhone Mirroring.
9. Export images from Figma and attach them to posts in Typefully.
10. Manage app builds.
11. Assemble, rig, and repair characters in Blender.
12. Talk to Verizon support about a better plan, reading responses and continuing the conversation while you do something else.
13. Send Slack messages with attachments when the connector falls short.
14. Diagnose and fix a slow computer.
15. Transfer internet service to a new apartment.
16. Request an AI usage report from Slack and get it back in the same thread, using our internal Mac app to hand the task to Codex.
17. Build a Google Slides presentation from reference slides, then turn corrections into saved instructions.
You don’t need a big project to see whether computer use helps you. Pick a small chore whose result you can check. Watch the first attempt, review what the agent did, and use that experience to decide what to hand over next.
