OpenAI demos appshots: let AI read your screen and act on any open app
OpenAIDevs · x · 2026-08-29
OpenAI's dev account showcased appshots use cases: giving AI your current screen as context to act on—summarize a Slack thread, fill out an open form, add a feature from API docs, extract themes from X replies, triage DMs, draft three follow-ups to a dashboard's top posts, turn notes into a deck, trim a video in iMovie, convert an open recipe into a grocery list, and plan the rest of a trip from an itinerary with web search.
