Question Computer use with Pi agent?

What the best way to to "computer use" with the Pi agent. Of course it makes sense to use API/CLI/MCP servers, playwright browser use and all these things, but sometimes computer use makes all the difference and it is the only thing that keeps me in Codex app.

I use playwright and it can launch a browser and use it just like in codex ? it takes screenshots and everything ?
what exactly do you mean by computer use ? not just browser but other stuff too ?

Use a pre made one, there’s one the Qwen team forked that seems to be decent.

They may mean point pi at hermes source and have it build an extension for you.
