Taskhomie (Computer Use AI Agent)

Local AI agent that controls your computer. Give it natural language instructions and watch it take screenshots, move your mouse, click, type, and run terminal commands.

Built with Tauri, React, and Rust.

Demo

Here, I used it to autonomously read and reply to tweets, lol. This is purely for demonstration/research, you should not attempt to do the same, lol.

Modes

Computer Use Mode - Takes over your screen. Sees what you see via screenshots and controls your cursor and keyboard directly. Use when the task spans multiple apps or needs full desktop access. You step away while it works.

Background Mode - Runs async while you do other things. Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol for web automation and terminal for everything else. Doesn't touch your mouse or keyboard. Faster and more reliable for web + terminal tasks.

Setup

Requirements:

• Rust & Cargo
• Node.js & npm
• Anthropic API key

# install deps npm install

add your api key
echo "ANTHROPICAPIKEY=your-key-here" > .env
run dev
npm run tauri dev
or build for production
npm run tauri build

On macOS, you'll need to grant accessibility permissions when prompted (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility).
