Have you looked at agents from OpenAI and perplexity? Sure, they aren't perfect, but at the same time, they aren't far from near ready.

Does this simulation really required? There's another YC startup, they're processing PDFs I believe. They didn't train their systems on any simulation.

Edited to reword and add more context.

OpenAI agent is very impressive!

That being said, there are still a lot of use cases its not good at, and also looking at long trajectory tasks, enterprise work tasks, etc. I imagine those are all still very nascent.

I think we are still very early on computer use, being "production ready" requires probably close to 95%+ accuracy on most tasks and we're not there yet for most use cases.
