🖥️ pc-screen-control - Make your AI control your computer

What this software does

This application turns your computer screen into a tool for your AI. Most AI models look at a screenshot as a simple picture. They see colors and shapes but do not understand the buttons or menus on your screen. This software changes that process. It reads the Windows accessibility tree, which is a list of all elements on your screen. Your AI now knows the exact name of every button, text box, and menu item. It clicks the right button by name. It confirms the action worked. It operates your computer without needing your mouse.

⚙️ Requirements

To use this tool, ensure your computer meets these standards:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system.
  • 4GB of RAM or more.
  • A stable internet connection.
  • Claude Desktop or any other program that uses the Model Context Protocol.

📥 How to set up on Windows

  1. Visit the official download page to get the latest version.
  2. Find the file marked as an installer or a package for Windows.
  3. Save the file to your computer.
  4. Double-click the file to start the setup wizard.
  5. Follow the prompts on the screen to finish the installation.
  6. Launch the program from your Start menu once the process finishes.

🛠️ How to use the software

Once the software runs, it sits in the background. It connects to your AI client through the Model Context Protocol. You do not need to interact with the software interface directly.

When you ask your AI to perform a task, it checks the screen for available labels. If you ask the AI to "Open the email app," it searches for a button labeled "Mail" or "Outlook" in the accessibility list. It sends a command to your computer to click that item. The software reports back to the AI that the window opened.

This system works for most common desktop tasks:

  • Opening apps.
  • Clicking buttons in web browsers.
  • Navigating system settings.
  • Selecting items from dropdown menus.

🎯 Best practices

Control works best when you keep your main windows visible. The AI relies on the accessibility data that Windows provides to the software. If a window is hidden or minimized behind others, the AI might have trouble reading the buttons. Keep your workspace clean for better results.

Use clear instructions when you chat with your AI. Instead of saying "click the thing over there," use the specific name shown on the screen. For example, "Click the Edit button" or "Select the Save option." This helps the software find the exact path to the action you want.

🔐 Privacy and security

The software only reads the accessibility data from your system. It does not record your screen. It does not save images of your desktop. It sends only text data about the items on your screen to your AI service to help it understand your interface. This process happens locally on your machine. Your private information remains on your computer unless you send it to the AI service through your chat window.

🧠 Troubleshooting

If the AI fails to click a button, follow these steps:

  1. Reload the AI chat window.
  2. Check if the application window is visible on your screen.
  3. Restart the software from your system tray.
  4. Ensure your Windows accessibility settings are active.

Sometimes, complex apps do not report labels to Windows. In these cases, the AI might see the app as a blank space. You can move the window to a different area of your monitor to see if the accessibility data refreshes.

📝 Support

Use the issues tracker on the download page if you find a bug. Provide a description of the app you want to control and the version of Windows you use. This helps in making the tool better for everyone.
