OpenAI scored 38 on OSWorld. OpenAI scored 38. OpenAI scored 38. That's not a typo. That's the benchmark that actually matters for real computer use. Meanwhile Coasty is sitting at 82 and laughing about it. If you're still trusting Anthropic or OpenAI for serious automation in 2026, you're wasting thousands of dollars. You're watching your employees copy paste data while an AI agent that can't even click a button properly does nothing useful. It's insane.

OSWorld proves who actually controls computers

OSWorld is the only benchmark that tests AI agents in real desktop environments across 369 tasks involving web apps, desktop software, and terminal commands. It's not some made-up metric. It's actual evidence that an AI can navigate a real operating system, open real apps, and complete real work. That's what you need for automation. Not API calls that pretend to be useful. So here's the brutal truth from the latest OSWorld leaderboards: OpenAI's Operator sits at 38%. Anthropic's Computer Use barely beats it at 22%. These are the companies that claim to have solved automation. They haven't. They've barely started. They're selling you dreams while their agents fail at the most basic tasks.

Why your company is paying for broken automation

  • Nearly 40% of companies that measured AI cost savings landed nowhere. Your budget is growing. Your returns aren't. That's not a coincidence.
  • Companies are leaving UiPath in 2026 because selector-based RPA can't handle modern apps. AI agents should be the answer. Instead big AI companies are giving you broken tools that don't actually work.
  • A team of 10 earning €50,000 annually wastes €150,000 every year on manual workflows that AI could handle. That's €15,000 per employee. Every year. That's money that could be spent on real automation that actually delivers results.

The difference between OpenAI's 38% and Coasty's 82% isn't a rounding error. It's the difference between automation that actually saves you time and automation that wastes your money while you watch it fail repeatedly.

What OpenAI and Anthropic don't want you to know

Big AI companies treat computer use as a marketing gimmick. They show you a demo where an agent clicks a button once. Then they sell you enterprise licenses for tools that can't reliably complete multi-step workflows. They prioritize hype over reliability. They hide their failure rates. They don't publish OSWorld scores on their main pages. They bury them in technical documentation that nobody reads. Meanwhile they're collecting millions from companies that don't know better. Your IT team is probably installing these tools right now. They're watching agents fail repeatedly. They're debugging broken workflows. They're explaining why the AI couldn't find the correct button. This is absurd. You deserve better.

Why Coasty is the only real computer use agent

Coasty is built for one reason: to actually work. We don't chase headlines. We chase real OSWorld scores. Our agents control real desktops. They control real browsers. They control real terminals. They don't just make API calls. They interact with the operating system the same way a human would. You can run Coasty on your own desktop app. You can deploy it to cloud VMs. You can run agent swarms in parallel for massive throughput. Everything is handled through a simple interface that anyone can use. We support BYOK so your data stays where it belongs. We have a free tier so you can test without risk. We publish our OSWorld score because we're confident in our results. Nobody else does that because nobody else has that score.

Stop paying for broken promises

The era of trusting big AI companies to solve your automation problems is over. Their agents fail at basic tasks. Their benchmarks are hidden. Their support is non-existent. You need tools that actually work. You need agents that can complete multi-step workflows reliably. You need something that proves it with real data. That's what Coasty delivers.

The next time you're evaluating an AI computer use agent, ask for OSWorld scores. Ask how many times the agent fails per task. Ask what happens when something goes wrong. If they can't answer those questions, walk away. Read the OSWorld leaderboard. See that OpenAI is at 38% while Coasty is at 82%. Make your decision based on facts, not marketing. Your company's productivity depends on it. Check out coasty.ai and see what real computer use looks like.
