Manual data entry costs U.S. companies $28,500 per employee every single year. That's a number so stupid I had to read it twice. Your employees are not copy-pasting invoices for fun. They're doing it because nobody built a real automation. That's not your fault. It's the fault of tools stuck in 2019.
The $420 Bot Trap
UiPath pricing starts at $420 per seat per month for their Enterprise plan. That's $5,040 a year just to get in the door. You want an unattended robot beyond five? You need Enterprise. More bots? More Enterprise. It's a license treadmill. You pay more as you scale. That's not scalable. That's a trap.
RPA Is for 2019
UiPath calls their stuff 'agentic automation' now. That's marketing speak for 'we're still clicking buttons like a human but you pay us more.' RPA is brittle. It breaks on a single pixel change. It breaks on a renamed button. It needs constant maintenance. A real computer use AI agent doesn't click pixels. It understands what's on the screen. It handles errors. It adapts. RPA doesn't adapt. It just breaks until IT fixes it.
Human error in manual data entry alone costs $37.3 billion a year in lost revenue. That's not a typo. That's your business bleeding cash on copy-paste operations.
AI Computer Use Agents Are Different
An AI computer use agent doesn't just follow a script. It sees the screen. It reads text. It clicks the right button. It handles popups. It handles errors. It learns from what it sees. That's agentic automation. That's what UiPath pretends to be but isn't. OpenAI's Operator and Anthropic's Computer Use have been announced. They're getting hype. But the benchmarks are brutal. Many are in the 20% to 30% success range on real computer use tasks. That's not a product. That's a research experiment.
Why Coasty Exists
Coasty is the #1 ranked computer use AI agent. Our in-house model scored 85.6% on OSWorld with public results. We also have independently verified results of 82.81% on the official OSWorld Verified leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. That's higher than every competitor. Nobody else is close. Coasty controls real desktops. Real browsers. Real terminals. It's not just API calls. It's actual computer use. You can run it in a desktop app. You can run it in cloud VMs. You can run agent swarms for parallel execution. The best part? It's free tier available. You can even bring your own LLM. That's not a trap. That's a choice.
Stop paying people to copy-paste data in 2026. It's embarrassing. It's expensive. It's unnecessary. RPA is a dead end. AI computer use agents are the future. UiPath is still selling subscriptions to a past that never should have happened. Coasty is the best computer use AI on the planet. Try it for free at coasty.ai. Your $28,500 per employee will thank you.
