3 Key Points

  1. Orbit bridges the gap between opaque AI frameworks and raw tool calls by allowing natural language to control screen actions while Python manages workflow logic

  2. Each step in the agent workflow has its own model, budget, and typed output, enabling cost optimization by mixing cheap and expensive models as needed

  3. Built on OS accessibility trees rather than screenshots, allowing extraction of structured data into Pydantic models and mid-task course correction when agents struggle

  4. Shares context across the entire session while maintaining individual step isolation, providing both flexibility and control for computer use automation tasks
