Let an agent handle PC cleanup and router fixes
A user let Gemini work through router and desktop support tasks directly on their PC and browser.
- What they did
- They switched from plain chat to a mode where Gemini could operate their computer and browser. From there, they asked it to go into the router to repair a security camera, clear desktop error notices, run a system scan, and remove unnecessary files. The user mostly gave each job in turn and let the agent carry it out.
- How it went
- They say the agent completed the support work on its own and left them impressed enough to make GPT their main choice. There were no detailed checks or numbers shared, and they had not tried Gemini’s Antigravity feature.
- Tips
- This kind of setup is useful for routine fixes, but you should watch any step that touches account settings or deletes files. The user also said they would not want to pay $20 a month for Gemini in its current state, except at a discounted rate they already had.
Try it yourself with Gemini
Use computer control on my [PC/laptop] and browser to help me fix this issue: [describe the problem, such as a camera that won’t connect or repeated error messages]. Check [router page, app, or settings area] and look for likely causes, then carry out the safest fix you can find. Before you change settings, uninstall anything, delete files, or submit anything, stop and show me the exact action list so I can approve it first. If you need my login, ask before entering it.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
