GUI Agent

Autonomous GUI task execution. Give it a natural language task, it operates the desktop.

When to Use

Use gui-agent when the user asks you to:

• Operate a desktop application (click buttons, fill forms, navigate menus)
• Interact with a VM (OSWorld tasks)
• Do anything that requires seeing and clicking on a screen

How to Use

gui-agent "your task description here"

Examples:

# Desktop automation
gui-agent "Open Firefox and go to google.com"
gui-agent "Send hello to John in WeChat"
gui-agent "Install the Orchis GNOME theme"

# Remote VM
gui-agent --vm http://172.16.82.132:5000 "Open GitHub in Chrome"

# With specific model
gui-agent --provider claude-code --model opus "Crop the top 20% of the image in GIMP"

Options

TASK                  Natural language task description

--vm URL              Remote VM HTTP API
--provider NAME       Force LLM provider: claude-code, openclaw, anthropic, openai

--max-steps N         Max actions before stopping (default: 15)
--app NAME            App name for component memory (default: desktop)

What It Does Internally

The agent runs an autonomous loop — you don't need to manage any of this:

1. Observe — screenshot + UI detection + component matching
2. Verify — check if the previous action succeeded
3. Plan — decide the next action (click, type, scroll, etc.)
4. Execute — perform the action
5. Repeat — until task is done or max steps reached

The agent learns UI components on first encounter and reuses them in future sessions.
