lowk why not just do astra computer use

I tried this myself - my conclusion was the overhead of parsing a screenshot, generating an action, and being limited to headful mode is much less efficient than reading accessibility trees & generating CDP commands.

basically, browser automation is a closer-to-the-metal abstraction than computer use, allows more flexibility, and ends up being much cheaper at scale!

Astra with computer use seems to burn a ton of tokens though. Stagehand seems more token efficient.
