Rosply

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Rosply is a cross-platform, vision-powered AI desktop agent and PC automation tool. It functions as a computer-use agent that perceives the screen via screenshot analysis and executes autonomous actions using native mouse, keyboard, and scroll inputs on Windows, Linux, and macOS systems.

2. Core Value Proposition: Rosply exists to automate repetitive PC tasks without scripting. Its core proposition is enabling users to delegate complex workflows using natural language commands, effectively turning a computer into a hands-free, AI-driven workstation. It eliminates the need for brittle selectors or app-specific APIs by leveraging vision AI to understand dynamic interfaces.

Main Features

1. Vision-Powered Screen Understanding: Rosply captures a screenshot at every task step and sends it to a selected vision-capable AI model (like Qwen VL, GPT-4o, or Claude). The model interprets the live screen state—reading dialogs, popups, and dynamic UI elements—just as a human would, eliminating reliance on fragile DOM structures or XPath selectors.

2. Full Native Desktop Control: The agent executes actions through direct OS-level inputs: click, double-click, right-click, drag, type, scroll, and hotkeys. It can control any application, including legacy enterprise software, web browsers, and the VS Code editor, without requiring a dedicated API or plugin for each target app.

3. Claude Code & MCP Integration: Rosply operates as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing developers to integrate it directly into Claude Code. This enables command-and-control of a PC from within a coding agent, routing natural language tasks from a terminal to a Windows machine for autonomous execution.

4. Voice Control with Offline Wake Word: It features a local Whisper-powered voice control system. Users can activate the agent hands-free with the wake word "Hey Rosply" and dictate tasks, with processing happening offline for privacy and responsiveness without requiring application focus.

5. Persistent Memory and Safety: The agent maintains persistent memory across task steps and runs, allowing it to carry information like invoice numbers from one page to another. It includes an emergency stop (Ctrl+H) for immediate mid-task termination and a 200-action cap per task to prevent runaway loops.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: The need to write and maintain brittle automation scripts, Selenium tests, or RPA bots that break with every minor UI update. Rosply solves this by using vision AI to see the screen dynamically, making automations resilient to interface changes.

2. Target Audience: Developers automating build and deployment workflows; power users managing repetitive file, email, and data entry tasks; operations professionals automating reporting and data scraping from web portals; and efficiency-focused individuals seeking to delegate computer chores to an AI agent.

3. Use Cases: Browser automation (filling forms, downloading invoices), file organization (batch renaming, moving), email management (reading and composing with context), code generation (scaffolding projects in VS Code), and cross-application workflows (e.g., reading data from a website and entering it into a spreadsheet).

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike traditional RPA tools that require building flows with designers or coding specific selectors, Rosply operates on a "no-code, just English" principle. It is model-agnostic, letting users choose or switch vision models (OpenRouter, local models) freely, avoiding vendor lock-in. Its one-time purchase model also differs from the subscription-based pricing of many enterprise automation platforms.

2. Key Innovation: The core innovation is its vision-native architecture. By treating screen interaction as a visual perception problem rather than a DOM inspection problem, Rosply can control any application that displays a graphical interface, including legacy software with no underlying API. The deep MCP integration with developer tools like Claude Code further bridges the gap between code-level agents and real-world desktop execution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does Rosply work with any Windows application? Yes. Rosply uses a vision model to understand the screen, so it works with any application that renders a UI—be it Chrome, Excel, SAP, custom enterprise tools, or the VS Code editor. No plugins or specific APIs for each application are required.

2. Is my data and screen content private when using Rosply? Rosply is designed with privacy in mind. Only the screenshot of the active task step and the command text are sent to your chosen vision model API. No data is stored remotely by Rosply, and all configuration files remain on your local machine. You can also use fully offline local models via Ollama or LM Studio.

3. How does Rosply differ from other AI agents like Anthropic's computer use or OpenAI's CUA? Rosply is an open, user-deployed tool focused on practical PC automation, offering model flexibility via OpenRouter and deep developer tool integration (MCP/Claude Code). It provides direct, one-time purchase access to its full capability set, designed for running on your own machine with your choice of AI backend.

4. What are the system requirements and platform support? Rosply requires Python 3.11+. It is fully supported on Windows 10/11 and Linux. macOS is in beta and functional for core features. Some features like the voice wake-word module and VS Code extension installer are currently Windows-only.

5. Can I use Rosply entirely offline without paying for API credits? Yes. By configuring a local vision model via Ollama or LM Studio, you can run Rosply completely offline with no data sent to the cloud. The default provider, OpenRouter, offers a generous free tier sufficient for starting and casual use.
