Desktop AI Learns from Screen Recordings | Generated by AI
Question: What is this AITNT article about? https://m.aitntnews.com/newDetail.html?newId=26238
Answer:
This article is about Agivar, a desktop AI Agent released by 非十科技 (Fitten Tech). The core idea: instead of humans writing complex prompts to tell AI how to operate software, you show the AI how you work once (screen recording), and it learns the workflow and repeats it. ([AI TNT][1])
The article frames it as an attempt to replace part of the work currently done by FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) roles. FDEs are engineers who go into companies, understand messy business processes, and translate human workflows into AI automation. The article claims Agivar tries to automate that translation step. ([AI TNT][1])
Core mechanism
Traditional RPA:
human
|
| define exact clicks
v
automation script
|
v
computer
Example:
click(300,500)
type("invoice number")
click(submit)
Very brittle.
Agivar’s proposed workflow:
human demonstrates task
|
v
screen recording
|
v
AI observes:
- UI elements
- user intention
- sequence
- conditions
|
v
AI creates executable workflow
|
v
runs task repeatedly
The article says it does not simply memorize coordinates like old “按键精灵”; instead it attempts to understand the task logic behind the actions. ([AI TNT][1])
Architecture idea
The interesting technical part is the “brain + cerebellum” architecture:
User goal
|
v
Large Multimodal Model
("brain")
|
planning / reasoning / recovery
|
v
Small specialized model
("cerebellum")
|
vision + clicking + typing
|
v
Desktop OS
The article claims:
-
Large model:
- understands videos
- decomposes tasks
- handles exceptions
-
Small model:
- recognizes UI
- executes mouse/keyboard operations
- provides low latency
([AI TNT][1])
This is actually a very reasonable architecture. You don’t want GPT-5-class reasoning for every mouse movement.
Similar analogy:
Human:
cortex -> "drive from Guangzhou to Shenzhen"
cerebellum -> "control steering wheel"
Agent:
LLM -> "finish invoice processing"
small VLM -> "click this button"
Why this is interesting
The biggest bottleneck for enterprise AI is not model intelligence.
It is:
“How do we connect AI to thousands of ugly internal systems?”
Many companies have:
- old ERP
- internal web apps
- no API
- manual Excel workflows
- government portals
- banking systems
Normal API automation cannot work.
Desktop Agent attacks this layer:
No API
|
v
Vision + Computer Use
|
v
AI employee
This is the same direction as:
- OpenAI Computer Use
- Anthropic Claude Computer Use
- Browser-use
- Operator-style agents
The article mentions Claude Cowork and OpenAI Codex desktop agents as part of this broader trend. ([AI TNT][1])
My technical evaluation
The idea is real, but the hard parts are:
1. Reliability
LLMs are stochastic.
For a demo:
AI clicks button correctly 95%
looks amazing.
For enterprise:
10000 invoices/day
99.99% correctness required
is much harder.
The article mentions:
- multi-agent verification
- rule constraints
- specialized training
to improve determinism. ([AI TNT][1])
2. Learning workflows from videos
This is basically:
video -> action sequence -> latent program
A very interesting research direction.
Possible pipeline:
screen video
|
v
vision encoder
|
v
UI state extraction
|
v
trajectory modeling
|
v
workflow graph
|
v
executor
It is close to:
- imitation learning
- GUI agents
- multimodal foundation models
3. The “AI FDE” concept
This is probably the strongest business insight.
Today:
Company wants AI automation
|
v
Hire consultant/FDE
|
v
Engineer studies workflow
|
v
Build agent
Future:
Employee records workflow
|
v
AI learns workflow
|
v
Agent deployed
This reduces deployment cost dramatically.
Relationship to your “multi-agent factory” idea
This is actually very aligned with your previous “AI employee factory” thinking.
A future company could look like:
Human expert
|
| demonstrate work
v
Workflow-learning agent
|
v
100 copies of AI workers
|
v
business output
The bottleneck moves from:
hiring workers
to:
collecting demonstrations and improving agents.
About Fitten Tech
非十科技 is the company behind:
- Fitten Code (AI coding assistant)
- Agivar desktop agent
The article states the team originated from Tsinghua Computer Science and Jittor deep learning framework development. ([AI TNT][1])
My take: Agivar is not mainly a “better chatbot”; it is an attempt to build the next layer after LLMs: operational agents that learn human workflows. The key battle will be reliability, latency, and enterprise integration rather than raw model intelligence.
