Gemini 3.5 Flash Gets Computer Use, an AI Tool for Automating Computer Control
Google has added a Computer Use feature to Gemini 3.5 Flash. The model now operates a computer in place of the user: it clicks on the screen, fills in forms and switches between applications. The feature is available to enterprise customers through Google Cloud Vertex AI. It competes directly with Anthropic's Claude Computer Use and OpenAI's Operator, and the market for AI operator agents is moving into mainstream products.
