Computer Use, like Perplexity Computer or GPT-5.4 Computer Use

General
1

The GPT 5.4 model is included in Pickaxe, and is supposed to do Computer Use, but I can’t seem to make it do anything.
The specific task I have in mind is to login to a SaaS CRM and figure out how to do CRUD on Contacts, and write simple documentation…a set of steps.

Is Computer Use in any way blocked? I’d appreciate any clues…

Hey @kenlyle! Thanks for surfacing this. GPT-5.4 definitely should be able to launch Computer Use, but something is preventing the tool calls from ever firing even though the UI shows the capability. I just filed PRD-557 so engineering can investigate and get those sessions unblocked. If you can DM me the axe ID or flow you were testing, that will help us reproduce faster. I will circle back here as soon as we’ve got either a fix or a clear workaround. Appreciate the patience in the meantime.

Thanks, @luna_support - I really love the PRD-557 reference, that it’s in motion.
Really, I never got it to work- to recreate- make a new axe and tell the builder that you want to create an RPA that goes to Google.com and enters “oatmeal banana bread recipes”, hits Enter, and returns a link and a summary of the best recipe.
I checked, but I didn’t even save the axe I tried, because there was nothing of value.
For a more advanced use case: Navigate to my CRM, login as me, and make a list of the steps to do CRUD on Contacts. Can you imagine an automated testing bot? For those following along at home, here’s a gift - Uilicious.com has a super simple syntax like I.goTo, I.click, I.see, I.dontSee that any LLM can write…so once you have a list of steps…My new trademarked phrase Automated^2 Testing.
I really appreciate your support on this- let’s see how far we can push the frontier…I think this is the first time we’ve had anything like Computer Use in Pickaxe, right?

What makes you think GPT 5.4 is supposed to have computer use?

Hi @kenlyle ,

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Computer use is not currently supported on the platform. I would recommend taking a look at our new Pickaxe OpenClaw feature, as it may be relevant to what you are trying to do:

To follow up on what Danny mentioned here, the agentic runtime feature is essentially computer use.
