Low-cost computer use with OCR and TypeSafe Jev

The post describes @awlevin's trick: OCR the screen, then let TypeSafe's Jev pick the next click. It compares costs with Opus 5 and suggests writing a handcrafted date parser for better value.

Computer use for $0.0002 a step. Opus 5 on the same screenshot: $0.032. @awlevin's trick: OCR the screen, then TypeSafe's Jev picks the next click. Catch: Opus reads dates off pixels. Here you code it by hand. For 155x, I'd write the date parser. https://github.com/awlevin/typesafe-computer-use…
