Could you build this?
No A benchmark dataset of computer-use workflows across professional desktop software requires tedious manual data collection, screencasting, action telemetry annotation, and domain expert validation across enterprise tools.
What it would actually take: Producing this requires building a multi-platform OS telemetry harness (capturing mouse, keyboard, accessibility tree, and screen frames) and employing expert human operators across complex software suites (e.g., CAD, Blender, Excel, SAP). The core barrier is extensive manual labor, protocol design, and data annotation rather than software engineering code.
