Ask HN: Any way to have inbuild second screen for AI to control

Hey HN!

I was thinking in windows and linux having running computer use, but rather than full control, a way agent sees the screen like layer of application like z index but then also send the click and insert text there too ? its possible on mac i can see chatgpt has done it but how about windows or linux ?

Right now the only Agent that fully supports Computer Control both natively and in background on same machine is TheGitAI Coding Agent. It also has similar one for MacOS. Here is a video on that:
