If you're on macOS and interested in this space, I highly recommend you open up the system-provided Accessibility Inspector.app and play around with apps and browsers. See how the green cells might guide an LLM to only need to read/OCR specific parts of a screen, how much text is already natively available to the accessibility engine, and how this could lead to really effective hybrid systems - not just MCPs, but code generators that can build and run their own scripts to crawl your accessibility hierarchy for your workflow!

I think this is very fertile ground - big labs need to use approaches that can work on multiple platforms and arbitrary workflows, and full-page vision is the lowest common denominator. Platform-specific approaches are a really exciting open space!
