Computer use agents can be made more efficient by leveraging operating system accessibility trees instead of relying solely on screenshots for visual analysis. These accessibility trees provide structural information about UI elements, allowing for faster, deterministic lookups that bypass the need for computationally intensive vision models for common tasks like locating buttons. While vision remains essential for custom UIs or games lacking accessibility trees, the increasing affordability of agents may lead to a shift towards brute-force vision approaches as token costs decrease. AI
