The Road to Intent-Driven Automation
summary
Claims that domain experts can type an intent and the system executes it; demonstration of an early intent pilot that uses GPT plus Computer Vision to detect UI elements, generate a plan, move mouse and type into Google Docs and a desktop app. Uses segment anything and CLA Sonet 3.5 for localization, and a Pi Auto GUI–style UI controller for pixel actions. Prototype sometimes succeeds (one clean run among a few) and often fails or misclicks, so it works but remains brittle.
