A few common ones we've heard

Engineering: QA automation is huge, closes the loop on "fully automated" software engineering if another computer use system is able to click around and help identify bugs in software

Deep Research: probably the biggest use case for computer use right now, finding information that isn't easily indexed or accessible via APIs.

General RPA: This is industry specific, but lots of just everyday knowledge work involves data transfer between many platforms that sucks and no one wants to do. A great example is Epic in Healthcare. SO much labor is employed just to write and read information from this desktop app that isn't easily accessible. Imagine a computer use system that can do automated data pulls at scale for legacy desktop apps. This is a huge huge use case, and something that we're excited to try and improve with simulators of things like Epic, SAP, Salesforce, etc.

Consumer: Lots of just general everyday tasks. I would recommend checking out https://yutori.com/ if you're interested in seeing how a computer use agent can be helpful in your day to day. Its fun for daily news reports, restaurant reservation checking, etc.
