<h1 align="center">Self-Operating Computer Framework</h1>

<p align="center">
  <strong>A framework to enable multimodal models to operate a computer.</strong>
</p>
<p align="center">
  Using the same inputs and outputs as a human operator, the model views the screen and decides on a series of mouse and keyboard actions to reach an objective.

:rotating_light: **OUTAGE NOTIFICATION: gpt-4-vision-preview**
**This model is currently experiencing an outage so the self-operating computer may not work as expected.**
-->


## Key Features
- **Compatibility**: Designed for various multimodal models.
- **Integration**: Currently integrated with **GPT-4v** as the default model, with extended support for Gemini Pro Vision.
- **Future Plans**: Support for additional models.

## Current Challenges
> **Note:** GPT-4V's error rate in estimating XY mouse click locations is currently quite high. This framework aims to track the progress of multimodal models over time, aspiring to achieve human-level performance in computer operation.

## Ongoing Development
At [HyperwriteAI](https://www.hyperwriteai.com/), we are developing Agent-1-Vision a multimodal model with more accurate click location predictions.

## Agent-1-Vision Model API Access
We will soon be offering API access to our Agent-1-Vision model.

## Run `Self-Operating Computer`

1. **Install the project**
```
pip install self-operating-computer
```
2. **Run the project**
```
operate
```
3. **Enter your OpenAI Key**: If you don't have one, you can obtain an OpenAI key [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys)

<div align="center">
  <img src="https://github.com/OthersideAI/self-operating-computer/blob/main/readme/key.png" width="300"  style="margin: 10px;"/>
</div>

4. **Give Terminal app the required permissions**: As a last step, the Terminal app will ask for permission for "Screen Recording" and "Accessibility" in the "Security & Privacy" page of Mac's "System Preferences".

### Alternatively installation with `.sh`

1. **Clone the repo** to a directory on your computer:
```
git clone https://github.com/OthersideAI/self-operating-computer.git
```
2. **Cd into directory**:

```
cd self-operating-computer
```

3. **Run the installation script**: 

```
./run.sh
```

## Using `operate` Modes

### Multimodal Models  `-m`
An additional model is now compatible with the Self Operating Computer Framework. Try Google's `gemini-pro-vision` by following the instructions below. 

Start `operate` with the Gemini model
```
operate -m gemini-pro-vision
```

**Enter your Google AI Studio API key when terminal prompts you for it** If you don't have one, you can obtain a key [here](https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey) after setting up your Google AI Studio account. You may also need [authorize credentials for a desktop application](https://ai.google.dev/palm_docs/oauth_quickstart). It took me a bit of time to get it working, if anyone knows a simpler way, please make a PR:

### Optical Character Recognition Mode `-m gpt-4-with-ocr`
The Self-Operating Computer Framework now integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities with the `gpt-4-with-ocr` mode. This mode gives GPT-4 a hash map of clickable elements by coordinates. GPT-4 can decide to `click` elements by text and then the code references the hash map to get the coordinates for that element GPT-4 wanted to click. 

Based on recent tests, OCR performs better than `som` and vanilla GPT-4 so we made it the default for the project. To use the OCR mode you can simply write: 

 `operate` or `operate -m gpt-4-with-ocr` will also work. 

### Set-of-Mark Prompting `-m gpt-4-with-som`
The Self-Operating Computer Framework now supports Set-of-Mark (SoM) Prompting with the `gpt-4-with-som` command. This new visual prompting method enhances the visual grounding capabilities of large multimodal models.

Learn more about SoM Prompting in the detailed arXiv paper: [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.11441).

For this initial version, a simple YOLOv8 model is trained for button detection, and the `best.pt` file is included under `model/weights/`. Users are encouraged to swap in their `best.pt` file to evaluate performance improvements. If your model outperforms the existing one, please contribute by creating a pull request (PR).

Start `operate` with the SoM model

```
operate -m gpt-4-with-som
```

### Voice Mode `--voice`
The framework supports voice inputs for the objective. Try voice by following the instructions below. 
**Clone the repo** to a directory on your computer:
```
git clone https://github.com/OthersideAI/self-operating-computer.git
```
**Cd into directory**:
```
cd self-operating-computer
```
Install the additional `requirements-audio.txt`
```
pip install -r requirements-audio.txt
```
**Install device requirements**
For mac users:
```
brew install portaudio
```
For Linux users:
```
sudo apt install portaudio19-dev python3-pyaudio
```
Run with voice mode
```
operate --voice
```
