The weird threshold for agents is not “can it click a browser.” It is giving one its own computer, then keeping a human steering wheel close by.
Bytebot is a self-hosted AI desktop agent. The docs describe a Docker Compose stack with a virtual Ubuntu desktop, an agent service, a web task UI, Postgres, REST APIs, and an MCP endpoint. The desktop comes with a browser, file system, terminal, and apps like VS Code. The takeover docs let a human interrupt a task, use the desktop directly, then hand control back; those actions get logged in the same action space the agent uses.
That is the piece I like. Useful agents need a workspace, but operators still need visibility and an emergency brake. If an agent is going to touch messy apps, documents, logins, and local workflows, I would rather see it inside a desktop I can watch, pause, and reset than a hidden session somewhere.

Anyone testing desktop agents as disposable workstations? Curious what breaks first: auth, state, screenshots/logs, or trust.
