HCU gives agents access to code, command-line tools, accessibility controls, and GUI input, letting models choose and combine channels. It uses compact views, batched actions, feedback, and guards against stale targets. In a matched OSWorld 2.0 test, GPT-6 Astra scores 72.37% Partial versus 68.82%, with similar cost. Results support the bundled interface, not AX alone or obsolete visual interaction.
