Why AI agents will use the same desktops and apps as human workers

AI agents won’t get custom-built infrastructure. Like humanoid robots, they’ll use the same human-shaped desktops and apps we already have.

The most transformational use of AI in the enterprise won’t come from copilots or new AI-powered tools. It will come from AI agents doing actual work—logging in, reading the screen, sending keystrokes and mouse movements—using the same desktops, apps, and browsers as your knowledge workers.

This won’t be a party trick or a hack. It’s the most practical, secure, and scalable way for AI to enter your enterprise. And it’s just around the corner.
