Airpoint — AI Computer Use for macOS

Airpoint gives you an AI agent that can see and control a Mac — open apps, click UI elements, read on-screen text, type, scroll, drag, and manage windows. You give it a natural-language instruction and it carries out the task autonomously by perceiving the screen (accessibility tree + screenshots + visual locator), planning actions, executing them, and verifying the result.

Everything runs through the airpoint CLI.

Requirements

• macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
• Airpoint app — must be running. Download from airpoint.app.
• Airpoint CLI — the airpoint command must be on PATH. Install it from the Airpoint app: Settings → Plugins → Install CLI.

Setup

Before using Airpoint's AI agent, the user must configure it in the Airpoint app (Settings → Assistant):

• AI model API key (required). Set an API key for the chosen provider:
• OpenAI (recommended): model gpt-5.1 with reasoning effort low gives

• Anthropic and Google Gemini are also supported.
• Gemini API key (recommended). Even when using OpenAI or Anthropic as the

• macOS permissions. The app prompts on first launch, but verify these are

• Accessibility — required for mouse/keyboard control.
• Screen Recording — required for screenshots and screen perception.
• Camera is only needed for hand tracking (not for the AI agent).
• Custom instructions (optional). In Settings → Assistant, add custom

If the user reports that airpoint ask fails or the agent can't see the screen, ask them to verify steps 1–3 above.

How to use

• Run airpoint ask "" to send a task to the on-device agent.
• The command blocks until the agent finishes (up to 5 minutes) and returns:
• A text summary of what the agent did and the result.
• One or more screenshot file paths showing the screen state after the task.
• Read the text output to confirm whether the task succeeded.
• If screenshots were returned, show the last screenshot to the user as

• If something went wrong or the task is stuck, run airpoint stop to cancel.

> airpoint ask "open Safari and search for 'OpenClaw'"
Opened Safari, typed 'OpenClaw' into the address bar, and pressed Enter.
The search results page is now displayed.

1 screenshot(s) saved to session abc123
  └ screenshots/step_3.png (/Users/you/Library/Application Support/com.medhuelabs.airpoint/sessions/abc123/screenshots/step_3.png)

After receiving this, show the screenshot to the user so they can see what happened.

Commands

Ask the AI agent to do something (primary command)

This is the most important command. It sends a natural-language task to Airpoint's built-in computer-use agent which can see the screen, move the mouse, click, type, scroll, open apps via Spotlight, manage windows, and verify its own actions.

# Synchronous — waits for the agent to finish (up to 5 min) and returns output
airpoint ask "open Safari and go to github.com"
airpoint ask "what's on my screen right now?"
airpoint ask "find the Slack notification and read it"
airpoint ask "open System Settings and enable Dark Mode"
airpoint ask "open Mail, find the latest email from John, and summarize it"

# Fire-and-forget — returns immediately
airpoint ask "open Spotify and play my liked songs" --no-wait

# Show the assistant panel on screen while running
airpoint ask "open System Settings and enable Dark Mode" --show-panel

Stop a running task

airpoint stop

Cancels the currently running assistant task. Use this if a task is stuck or taking too long.

Capture a screenshot

airpoint see

Returns a screenshot of the current display. Useful for verifying state before or after issuing an ask command.

Check status

airpoint status
airpoint status --json

Returns app version and current state (tracking active, etc.).

Hand tracking (secondary)

Airpoint also supports hands-free cursor control via camera-based hand tracking. These commands start/stop that feature:

airpoint tracking on
airpoint tracking off
airpoint tracking        # show current state

Read or change settings

airpoint settings list             # all current settings
airpoint settings list --json      # machine-readable
airpoint settings get cursor.sensitivity
airpoint settings set cursor.sensitivity 1.5

Common settings: cursor.sensitivity (default 1.0), cursor.acceleration (default true), scroll.sensitivity (default 1.0), scroll.inertia (default true).

System vitals

airpoint vitals          # CPU, RAM, temperature
airpoint vitals --json

Launch the app

airpoint open            # opens/focuses the Airpoint macOS app

Tips

• Use airpoint ask for almost everything. The agent can read the screen,

• Always use --json when you need to parse output programmatically.
• The agent can answer questions about what's on screen ("what app is in the
