It sees your screen and controls mouse and keyboard to automate workflows across apps, including ones without APIs. I know there is a lot of skepticism about AI agents, and I share some of it. A lot of things in this space look impressive in demos and then fall apart on real, boring work. So here are a few concrete things that Vy does today that we and early users actually rely on: Where it works best Tasks that you could explain in a paragraph…
