Recently, Doubao Work upgraded its computer operation capabilities, with improved screen-click precision and speed, making it more accurate and faster. Users can directly state computer operation requests in the conversation; after user authorization, Doubao Work can automatically view the computer screen and simulate human mouse and keyboard operations on relevant applications. At the same time, building on the existing cross-application operations and the ability to record browser operations as skills, users can now record computer operations and save the demonstration process as a reusable skill; in addition, tasks requiring computer operations can continue running after the Mac is locked, and users can also issue tasks and view results from their phone.
In the conversation interface, under "More Skills," find "Record Operations to Generate a Skill." After completing authorization as prompted, users can operate the computer as usual and add requirements by voice. For example, when organizing files, one can specify "only organize this folder, name files by date," making the operation scope and naming rules clear. During recording, Doubao Work records mouse clicks, text input, and window content; users can cancel at any time; when in use, avoid displaying sensitive information such as account passwords.
After recording ends, Doubao Work organizes the operation flow and explanation into a personal skill. Next time when performing a similar task, select the corresponding skill and explain the target and requirements for this instance, eliminating the need to repeatedly explain the operation steps. In this way, multi-step operations, ad-hoc conditions, and handling habits can be distilled from a single demonstration into a callable skill, reducing repeated explanations for similar tasks.
For task execution, users can go to "Settings → Work Task Mode Settings" and enable "Allow Doubao to Work When Locked." After activating this feature and granting user authorization, Doubao Work can continue executing tasks that require computer operations while the Mac is locked. When leaving the computer, users can also issue tasks to the locked Mac from their phone and view returned results on the phone; upon returning to the computer, they can take over at any time after unlocking. For tasks that need continuous execution but make it inconvenient to stay at the computer, this capability offers a more flexible way of delivery.

When in use, the Mac must stay powered on and connected to the internet, the Doubao client must keep running, and the device must stay awake.
As AI Agents extend into real work scenarios, Computer Use is becoming a key capability for operating software and executing tasks. This upgrade of Doubao Work allows users' familiar operation methods to be saved as reusable skills and supports tasks continuing after the Mac is locked, helping reduce the burden of repeated explanations and staying at the computer. For ordinary users, this means the opportunity to hand part of the repetitive operations over to AI, leaving more time and energy for judgment, creation, and work that requires experience, so that the value of AI in unleashing productivity gradually lands in everyday workflows.
