Namespace Devboxes add Computer Use on macOS

Namespace launched Computer Use for Devboxes, which gives an agent a real Mac desktop to work in. The agent can capture screenshots, click, type and press keyboard shortcuts, so it can use apps that have no API.

It runs through the Devbox CLI or the TypeScript SDK. devbox desktop screenshot saves the screen as a PNG, and devbox desktop click, type and press send input, with click coordinates in screenshot pixels so a point read from a capture can be passed as is. To watch the agent or take over, devbox desktop connect opens the same desktop in your local VNC client.

Computer Use works on macOS Devboxes only, and Namespace says Windows Devbox support is coming next. Its changelog first listed the screenshot and input controls on October 16.
