Overview
OpenAI’s Computer Use lets AI agents control computer interfaces through the Responses API. This guide shows how to use it with Orgo’s virtual desktops.The
computer-use-preview model remains OpenAI’s dedicated computer-use endpoint. GPT-5 series models can also drive an Orgo computer through the standard tool-calling API - wire up screenshot, click, and type as regular tools.Quick Start

Key Concepts
The Agent Loop
OpenAI Computer Use works in a continuous loop:- Request → Send task to the model
- Action → Model suggests an action (click, type, etc.)
- Execute → Your code executes the action
- Screenshot → Capture the result
- Repeat → Continue until task is complete
Action Types
| Action | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
click | Click at coordinates | Click button at (100, 200) |
double_click | Double-click | Open desktop icon |
type | Type text | Enter username |
key | Press key(s) | Press Enter, Ctrl+C |
scroll | Scroll page | Scroll down 3 units |
wait | Pause execution | Wait 2 seconds |
screenshot | Take screenshot | Capture current state |
Safety Features
OpenAI includes safety checks to prevent misuse:Best Practices
1. Clear Instructions
2. Error Handling
3. Session Management
