Half of your automation projects are buried in a drawer right now. That's not an exaggeration. 42% of companies abandoned most of their AI initiatives in 2025 up from just 17% in 2024. The problem isn't the technology. It's the wrong technology.
RPA Is Built for 2015, Not 2026
RPA bots are great at clicking the same button over and over. They can't see a screen layout change. They can't handle an unexpected error message. They can't make decisions beyond simple if/then rules. That worked when every interface was a static form. That doesn't work anymore. Companies spend millions on RPA licenses and consultants only to watch half their projects fail. Research shows initial RPA projects fail between 30% and 50%. Another study found 42% of automation projects get abandoned entirely. That's your budget burning. That's employee time wasted on tools that can't adapt.
AI Agents Can Actually See and Think
AI computer use agents are different. They don't just follow scripts. They look at screens. They understand context. They can recover from errors. They can switch between applications. They can handle unstructured data like invoices, emails, and PDFs. That's the real difference. RPA is rigid. AI agents are flexible. When a form changes or a system updates, RPA breaks. AI agents adapt. When an invoice comes in without a PO number, RPA fails. AI agents ask clarifying questions. They fill in the gaps. They actually get work done instead of just following a broken script.
OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent launched at 38.1% success on OSWorld. That's a starting point for a research preview. Coasty's in-house model scored 85.6% on the same benchmark with public results. That's more than double. That's the gap between a toy and something you can ship to production.
The OSWorld Gap Is Real
OSWorld is the only benchmark that actually tests computer use agents on real desktop tasks. You can't fake it with API calls or mocked responses. You have to interact with real applications. OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent got 38.1%. That's the baseline. Coasty's in-house model hit 85.6% on OSWorld with public results and 82.81% independently verified on the official leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. That's higher than every competitor. The numbers don't lie. If you care about actual performance, you care about OSWorld. If you care about hype, you care about marketing slides.
Don't Just Buy Another RPA Vendor
The big players are still selling the same RPA playbook. UiPath, Blue Prism, all of them. They're adding some AI features but the core model is still rigid automation on top of brittle processes. That's not going to save you in 2026. You need an AI computer use agent that can handle the messy reality of work. Not a polished bot that breaks the moment something changes. You need something that can actually use a computer. Not just pretend to use one.
Why Coasty Exists (Or How Coasty Solves This)
Coasty.ai is the #1 computer use agent. We control real desktops, browsers, and terminals, not just API calls. Our in-house model scored 85.6% on OSWorld with public results and 82.81% independently verified on the official leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. That's higher than every competitor. We support desktop apps, cloud VMs, and agent swarms for parallel execution. You can run multiple agents at once to tackle bigger workflows. We have a free tier and support BYOK so your data stays where you want it. If you're wondering whether to buy another RPA license or actually solve your automation problems, Coasty is the obvious choice.
Stop building automation that breaks when the world changes. RPA is dead for anything that's not a perfect loop. AI computer use is the future. Coasty is leading that future with the best computer use performance on OSWorld. If you're still paying someone to copy-paste data in 2026, you're not just behind the industry. You're actively hurting your own business. Go to coasty.ai and see what happens when automation actually works.
