I've been using Control for a few hours now, trying to break its limits and it's completely changed how I interact with my computer.
The standout moment was when I asked it to help me free up space on my Mac. Instead of giving me generic advice, it actually scanned my system, found 40GB of old Docker images I forgot about, cleared browser caches, and even identified duplicate photo folders from old backups. All done in under 2 minutes.
What really impressed me is the context awareness. When I'm working on a document and ask a question, it understands what I'm looking at without me having to explain everything. Yesterday, I was stuck on a spreadsheet formula, and instead of switching to ChatGPT and copying my data over, Control just saw my screen and fixed it instantly.
The automation capabilities are insane. I had 200+ screenshots cluttering my desktop, and it organized them by date into folders, renamed them descriptively, and even converted the PNGs to JPGs to save space. Tasks that would've taken me an hour are done in seconds.
My only minor gripe is that it sometimes needs a second attempt for more complex terminal commands, but the team seems to be updating it frequently.
If you're tired of copying and pasting between ChatGPT and your actual work, or if you want an AI that can actually DO things instead of just talking about them, Control is a game-changer. It's like having a super-smart IT person living in your computer.
