About this session
Even the world's best computer-use agents cannot repeat their successes at the moment. Agents that write code — emitting structured selector-based actions instead of clicking pixels — break through that ceiling. We'll share two years of experience from Simular's production agent platform, the architectural decisions that mattered (refs over pixels, code as substrate, Simulang DSL), and a live demo: a 30-step unattended Windows workflow, side-by-side with a vision-only baseline. If you're shipping agents to real users, this is the playbook.
Speaker
CEO, Simular
Ang Li is the CEO and cofounder of Simular, the autonomous computer company. Simular builds the full-stack infrastructure for AI agents that use computers like humans do. It was the first to surpass human-level performance on the OSWorld computer-use benchmark with its open-source Agent S framework, which won Best Paper at the ICLR 2025 Agentic AI Workshop. Simular's flagship product, Sai, is a general-purpose autonomous computer in the cloud that operates any software the way a person does. Ang was formerly a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, working at the frontier of continual learning, large-scale deep learning, and ML infrastructure. He has published over 50 papers in top AI venues and his work and company have been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and VentureBeat. Simular is backed by Felicis and NVentures. His mission: to solve autonomy and enhance lives.
