It can now operate software environments directly — analysing screenshots and issuing keyboard or mouse commands — making it genuinely useful for automated, multi-app workflows.

With up to **1 million token context**, it handles long, complex tasks without losing the thread. For a broader breakdown of what this means for AI tools, check TechnoSports’ AI coverage.
