Summary
OpenAI’s API guide for the computer use capability, which lets a model operate browser and desktop interfaces on a user’s behalf while the caller supplies and runs the environment. It documents two integration styles — code execution, in which the model writes a script driven by a library such as PyAutoGUI or Playwright and which OpenAI recommends for GPT-6 Astra, and the computer tool, in which the model returns structured mouse and keyboard actions — and closes with four safety controls: restrict the environment, treat screen content as untrusted, confirm consequential actions, and bound and verify the run.
