CLUSTER CONTROL-DESKTOP-KEYBOARD · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-04
AI desktop automation agents
This cluster of Windows apps lets AI assistants see the screen and control the mouse and keyboard to complete desktop tasks from natural-language descriptions. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only one dated entry exists before the index began, so members predate it or are undated. OpenRoom leads on traction with 1248 stars, far ahead of yanmasa and extra.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
