The Bull Case for Computer Use Agents

The core takeaway is: Do not underestimate the rapid advancements in computer-use / browser-use capabilities.
The author's bullish thesis rests on two main points:
- Most websites won't offer APIs anytime soon, as infrastructure changes slowly.
- Therefore, CUAs (computer use agents) will effectively "agenticize" the web, operating directly over existing UIs.
The author has long tracked this space—from early research to Anthropic's Computer Use and recent CUA discussions—concluding that the latest systems are significantly more capable.
