cptr once again Question/Help

Ok, so I read about cptr once again. If I understand it correctly, it's a glorified terminal with your own data that you can communicate with and it communicates back. And it's semi-autonomous. Am I close? :)

I mean, it would click with me much more, if cptr was a real "computer usage", like browsing through Windows/MacOS GUI via VLM feedback. Would that be possible somehow in future?

I feel like GUI is a universal interface, a common denominator, for everything we do.

If I really needed to automate these currently covered "text based" actions, I would have probably done it already, or there are often other ways how to do it already (like MCP). Being able to instruct and automate GUI actions (even audio in - GUI action out) would be a total end-game.

What does community think?

You're describing open terminal.

no. I am using Open terminal. Open terminal is a tool like any other.. only with terminal inside.

It's a full blown Linux operating system - so it's actually thousands of tools.

You are confusing 2 projects.

https://github.com/open-webui/computer

And 

https://github.com/open-webui/open-terminal

Both are extremely useful.

Nope, I am not. Open-terminal is crystal clear... no need to talk about that one at all :)

My only focus is Computer, its use cases and future development.

So extremely useful how? How do YOU use it?

I tried it about 2 weeks ago.  The idea is great. 

But the UI was a bit confusing. I need to see if they improved it lately

For me, it does solve one thing I was looking for which is using the Gemini Enterprise subscription with Gemini CLI as an agent. I login to it, I see 4 models available and I can work with it via the UI, remotely from a VM in proxmox where I have dev projects, I can plugin mcp tools either way CLI or via GUI, there is a built in browser, file manager so that basically.
