Hands-on with ChatGPT 5.6: Visual Computer Use Succeeds in One Shot
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-08-02
A user test reveals that ChatGPT 5.6 Sol demonstrates a massive leap in visual computer control capabilities. From a single prompt, the model successfully completed a client documentation task in just 10 minutes on its first try.
For comparison, GPT 5.4 from a few months ago lacked native visual computer use. It had to rely on rigid mouse, keyboard, and coordinate-based controls, eventually working only after three days of iteration and countless prompts. The author notes that AI capable of understanding and adapting to an ever-changing PC environment makes traditional brittle if-then logic feel primitive.
