ChatGPT's new Computer Use records everything — minus the screenshots
openai launched computer history, a feature that tracks clicks and keystrokes to train ai assistants on user workflows. it raises privacy questions similar to microsoft's recall but excludes visual media.
openai rolled out computer history for the macos chatgpt app, enabling the model to track user activity via clicks and keystrokes rather than screenshots to understand context and suggest automations. the feature is opt-in, allows users to exclude specific apps or websites, and automatically ignores content from private browsing modes. this positions openai to compete with microsoft's recall feature in the ai agent space while attempting to mitigate privacy concerns by avoiding visual capture.
