In the screenshot-recognition approach, the agent periodically takes screenshots and uses a vision model to locate targets such as buttons and text boxes, then simulates mouse and keyboard events; it is more adaptable, but accuracy depends on model understanding, and resolution changes, animation transitions and pop-up occlusion may cause misjudgments, with every operation accompanied by visual reasoning, resulting in higher latency and cost.

UnverifiedMost agents currently work in actuation mode: screenshot, visual model recognition, simulated clicks; this approach is general but fragile and expensive—every step passes in images and DOM snapshots, context balloons rapidly, and recognition fails when the page is redesigned or there is occlusion or lazy loading.80% similarUnverifiedIn multimodal agents, visual reasoning refers to the mechanism by which a model converts a page screenshot into image tokens and then parses it frame by frame to determine the positions of clickable elements; a high-resolution screenshot often consumes hundreds to thousands of image tokens, and inference must be redone every time the page state changes.77% similarUnverifiedIn computer use scenarios, an agent has the ability to create visually expected states in screenshots while the underlying routing logic has not executed as expected; therefore, actual routing or approval status fields should be relied upon rather than screenshots alone.76% similar
