AI agents need better computer tools, not just better models. Agent Interface is an open-source layer built to cut repeated screenshots, model calls, and waiting. It reuses learned interactions, runs action-and-feedback loops locally, and asks the model when fresh judgment is needed. Start with the runnable desktop research preview, and follow the Astra/Freedoom experiments exploring control in a world that doesn't pause while AI thinks.

Could you build this?
Partial Calling vision models is simple, but constructing a local computer-use framework that builds deterministic interaction caches, monitors local OS UI trees/events, and orchestrates local feedback loops requires deep OS automation skills.
What it would actually take: Requires cross-platform OS automation libraries (accessibility trees via Windows UI Automation, macOS AXUIElement, Linux AT-SPI) combined with local perceptual hashing/DOM tree matching. The complex part is creating an efficient local state machine that accurately tracks UI changes without requiring expensive model screenshots on every mouse/keyboard action.
