Supporting context
The argument is not that one feature killed one company. It is that three releases, mobile steering for Claude Code, scheduled Cowork tasks, and Vercept's screen-perception capability, combine into a new operational model for desktop agents. Once software can see interfaces, follow natural-language instructions, and run on repeat, many automation categories get repriced at once. The article also distinguishes between companies that become substrates for agents and companies that still sell the manual work agents can now replace. That framing makes the piece relevant to software operators, not just tool enthusiasts.
