![Everruns, E2B and Daytona side by side, announcing desktop computer use on both sandboxes](https://everruns.com/docs/_astro/integration@2x.DCdqh9fL_Z2nrASI.webp)

Agents can now operate a full Linux desktop instead of only a browser page. The experimental `computer_use_desktop` capability runs the provider-neutral `computer` tool on an E2B desktop sandbox, and `computer_use_daytona` runs it on a Daytona sandbox through Daytona’s Computer Use API. The session creates the desktop on first use, keeps it between calls and deletes it when its lease ends.

The `computer` tool also gained zoom, cursor position, mouse button down and up, hold-key and modified drag actions on Daytona, E2B and Browserless.

Connect E2B or Daytona first, then add one computer-use capability to the agent; only one can provide the `computer` tool.
