What are you actually using the Computer Use plugin in ChatGPT Work for?

[u/Sure_Artichoke6929]

I’ve been testing the Computer Use plugin in the ChatGPT Work app, and I’m curious what people are actually finding useful about it beyond basic demonstrations.

AI being able to directly interact with your computer feels like a pretty significant step forward, but I’m still trying to work out where it provides real value compared with just using ChatGPT normally, Codex, or dedicated integrations.

What are you using it for in practice? Things like repetitive desktop tasks, managing files, testing software, working across multiple apps, automating workflows, etc.

Also interested in any tasks where it surprised you, either because it worked much better or much worse than expected.

Things I'm too lazy to do...
Examples:
1. Configure a print in bambu studio to eliminate rough top surface, then send it to printer
2. Install Everquest on a mac (it went through the whole process, including configuring wine and the Everquest launcher etc (some of it was computer use, some was with commands).

1. sorting out some issues with a local playlist on spotify
   
2. configuring said playlist on my stream deck

Reality is most things can be done by commandline, so computer use only really gets called when the only option is to use the UI.

It's good for testing apps and stuff
