What is Mano-P and how do I install it?

Mano-P's an on-device GUI agent model that automates desktops from screenshots. Install via `brew install mano-cua` on Mac—no API needed.

Will on-device GUI agents replace RPA tools?

They're evolving past RPA's limits—full coverage, understanding, low maintenance. RPA lingers in enterprises, but agents win for flexibility.

Can GUI agents run on Windows or Linux too?

Mano-P targets Apple silicon now, but the screenshot paradigm ports anywhere with vision models—watch for cross-platform ports.
