Skygen is a desktop agent that performs tasks by operating applications directly on your computer. Working on the desktop rather than in the browser is the meaningful distinction: a great deal of real work happens in local applications that no web-based automation can reach.
That covers the awkward middle ground where automation is usually impossible, a desktop accounting package, a design tool, a legacy internal application with no API. Anything with a graphical interface becomes automatable in principle, which is where the remaining manual drudgery tends to live.
The trade-offs are inherent to the approach: operating a real desktop is slower and less deterministic than an API call, and an agent with control of your machine warrants thought about what it can reach. It is free to download, so the sensible test is a single repetitive task you already do daily.
