Computer use API on real Windows — not a sandbox

Glasswarp is a computer-use API for PCs you already own: native-resolution vision, native mouse and keyboard, and a safe session. You bring the brain (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or any agent). We provide eyes and hands on real Windows.

What “computer use API” usually means

Model vendors expose a computer use tool so the model can request screenshots and click/type actions. You still need somewhere for those actions to run — often a Linux Docker desktop, VNC, or a cloud sandbox. That works for demos. It breaks when the job needs your real Windows apps, GPU, and licenses.

Computer use options compared

Approach	What you get	Gap
Claude / Anthropic computer use	Model decides clicks and keys	You supply the environment (often Linux + VNC)
OpenAI / Gemini computer use	Agent skill in chat or API	Mostly browser or vendor-managed surfaces
E2B / Modal sandboxes	Disposable Linux VMs	Not your Win32 apps or GPU licenses
Browserbase / Stagehand	Managed cloud browsers	Web only — not desktop QuickBooks, CAD, installers
Glasswarp	Eyes + hands API on your Windows PC	Needs a paired host with owner consent

Where Glasswarp fits

Use Glasswarp when the agent must operate the Windows machine you already run. Pair Claude (or any model) as the brain; Glasswarp is the transport: observe → decide (your agent) → click/type on the real desktop.

Native-res capture (DXGI) + grounding targets
Native Win32 input — not synthetic VNC clicks
Live View for humans; consent, indicator, kill switch, audit
Remote MCP or Python SDK — same sessions and metering

FAQ

Is Glasswarp a Claude computer use competitor?

No. Claude (and others) are the brain. Glasswarp is eyes and hands on a real Windows PC you own.

Do you host Windows desktops?

No. Bring-your-own-host: your hardware, apps, and licenses. You pay for session minutes.
