I just don't get why would you would want an agent to use the browser to do these mundane things (check email, work with calendar etc), when you can simply give it a few tools, and save maybe six gazillion tokens per task?
Using existing enterprise apps probably - this solution is scalable for the vendor and it's easier to sell using existing software as-is than to start out by writing new custom tools.
Yes, I can see the usecase for legacy desktop apps etc, but the web? it's a DOM. WebMCP coming now too, no need for screenshotting or DOM querying then either..
After doing few experiments, I think that having Agents work on browser for all tasks wouldn't be best due to many factors like token cost, safety, etc. But browser/computer can be a tool that the agent can be alongside MCPs to complete tasks that requires interaction with such modalities.
Is there a possible way computer use can be automated using multiple computer use agents from different providers, but also with some sort of routing setup so the best course of action can be chosen without hitting failures (for eg: permission issues in OpenAI could be rerouted to Gemini)

Adversarial interoperability.
Well if these guys computer action model works as they intended (ground up video trained model)

maybe this benchmark will be conquered far faster then expected
Nice, their training recipe seems unique.

There are few agents like browser-use, skyvern etc that may provide this capability.
