We spent $10 trillion last year on a global workforce that was only 20% engaged. That is not a typo. According to Gallup's 2026 State of the Global Workplace report, low engagement is costing the world economy about 9% of GDP. And meanwhile OpenAI and Anthropic are still bragging about their computer use agents while users spend hours babysitting broken workflows.
Computer Use Agents Are Mostly Broken
OpenAI's Operator and Anthropic's Computer Use are widely praised as the future of automation. In practice they are more like fragile toys you have to supervise every five minutes. A recent deep dive in the Understanding AI newsletter compared multiple computer-use agents and found that even OpenAI's best model only works half the time on real-world tasks like ordering groceries or filling out forms. Anthropic's Computer Use has been around since 2024 but still struggles with basic UI navigation. The consensus in the dev community is clear: these agents are unfinished, unreliable, and not ready for production. They hallucinate buttons, fail to detect errors, and require constant human intervention. That is not automation. That is just digital busywork.
The Benchmarks Don't Lie
If actual performance matters more than hype, look at the OSWorld leaderboard. Coasty's in-house model achieved 85.6% on OSWorld using our own public results and 82.81% independently verified on the official OSWorld leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. That puts us ahead of every other computer-use agent that has published results. Other models like Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5.4 claim impressive numbers on their own blogs but rarely show the same results under real-world conditions. The gap is real. Coasty's computer-use agent consistently handles complex multi-step workflows on actual desktops, browsers, and terminals. It does not need you to rewrite your processes just to make the agent work.
85.6% on OSWorld from our in-house model with public results, plus 82.81% independently verified on the official leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. Nobody else is close.
Why Legacy RPA Is Even Worse
If you are still using traditional RPA tools like UiPath, you are stuck in 2020. UiPath and other legacy RPA vendors rely on rigid rules and brittle scripts that break whenever a UI changes. They fail to deliver ROI according to recent analyses of AI-powered automation. OCR systems and document digitization tools from the same vendors often require manual fixes because they cannot handle the mess of real-world documents. AI agents should be flexible enough to learn from mistakes and adapt to new interfaces. RPA bots need you to update scripts every time something changes. That is not automation. That is maintenance hell.
Why Coasty Exists
Coasty is the best computer use platform because it actually works like an agent should. Our computer-use agent controls real desktops, browsers, and terminals. It is not limited to API calls or sandboxed environments. You can run it locally with a desktop app or deploy it on cloud VMs. Need to process hundreds of tasks in parallel? You can run agent swarms across multiple machines. We support BYOK so your data stays under your control. There is a free tier to get started and no vendor lock-in. When you compare Coasty to manual work or to overhyped competitors, the choice becomes obvious. Coasty is the only platform that combines high benchmark performance with real-world reliability.
Stop paying people to copy-paste data in 2026. Stop babysitting agents that fail half the time. Stop relying on RPA tools that are stuck in the past. The best computer use platform is Coasty.ai. It controls real desktops, browsers, and terminals. It scales. It actually works. Try it for free and see for yourself.
