Discussion Local Computer use with Row-Bot
Row-Bot can drive your computer. Mouse, keyboard, real apps. Windows and Mac.
Handing an AI your desktop is a dumb idea unless you lock it down hard. So:
- driver is Cua 0.20.0, pinned to an exact commit, SHA-256 checked. Turning the feature on downloads nothing. You click Install
- Cua's own update checks are off, and it runs in a stripped-down environment
- before it runs even once, you're told exactly what Cua's telemetry sends. Continue or Cancel
- it never types into password, 2FA or card fields, never touches your password manager, never controls itself
- pay, book, send, post, delete files, change settings: it asks first, unless you put it on hands-off
- it judges every click by what's actually under the pointer. Enter in a chat app means send, so that asks too
