I want to just talk to the Mac and have it do things. I tried computer use and other alternatives, but the latency made it unusable.

I want to be able to control both Mac, apps and the browser. I also need it to figure out things by itself given a goal.

Claude Code with the --chrome flag is kind of good, but it's too slow. I wanted to try faster APIs, like the one hosted on Cerebras, but it's too expensive.

Any solution I might be missing?

Do you want to do something that can't be done through AppleScript, macOS accessibility APIs, and something like Puppeteer to control the browser?

Or something you don't understand how to do manually?

Because I guess I don't understand the attraction of using an LLM for system automation where existing interfaces exist, other than as a form of documentation, or to write code using these interfaces.

I don't want to think about that stuff. I just want to ask and get stuff done.
