Hi everyone!
Microsoft dropped UFO², upgrading their open-source agent project for Windows and calling it a "Desktop AgentOS".
It lets AI agents automate tricky workflows across multiple Windows apps. The cool part is the Hybrid Control: using direct Windows APIs when it can (faster, more reliable) and switching to simulating clicks only when needed, unlike pure UI bots.
It's built with a multi-agent design in mind and uses RAG to access knowledge. They're also adding a Picture-in-Picture mode soon, which enables asynchronous execution. I believe this ability for agents to work separately in the background is essential for them to be truly productive.
The whole thing is open source under the MIT License. Provides a solid base for building smarter Windows automations.
