Why an AI worker needs its own computer

An AI worker with its own computer can do anything a person can do on a screen: open a browser, sign in, click, type and handle files. That means it can work in apps without integrations, run long tasks overnight, and never needs to borrow someone's laptop.

What is a "computer-use" AI?

It is an AI that operates a computer through the screen: it sees what is on the screen, decides what to click or type, and checks the result.

What does its own computer make possible?

  • Working in older or niche web apps that have no API.
  • Moving data between apps that don't connect.
  • Long, slow jobs that run overnight.
  • A clear record of what the worker did, step by step.

How does Terabot do it?

Every Terabot worker gets its own private virtual machine that stays on. You give the job in plain words; the worker does it on that computer and reports back.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is a virtual machine?

A computer that runs in the cloud instead of on a desk. It has its own screen, browser and files, and it can stay on all the time.

Does the worker use my computer?

No. It has its own computer, so it doesn't take over anyone's machine.
