Rethinking EUC in the age of agentic AI with Computer-Using Agents (CUA)
In this article, Christiaan Brinkhoff explains that end‑user computing is shifting from human‑operated desktops to Computer‑Using Agents—AI systems that can understand intent, operate apps through real interfaces, and work continuously across workflows. Windows 365 for Agents provides a secure, persistent Cloud PC environment built for these AI workloads, enabling agents to run legacy apps, maintain context, and stay in compliance with enterprise policies. Nerdio outlines its vision to manage both human and agent Cloud PCs from a single platform, with built-in automation, governance, and cost controls. It positions this as the beginning of a major transformation in how work gets done.
