## What it is
UFO³ is Microsoft's open-source framework for LLM-powered GUI agents that automate Windows applications and orchestrate workflows across multiple devices. It combines UFO², a stable Desktop AgentOS with deep Windows integration and hybrid GUI+API actions, with Galaxy, a multi-device orchestration layer that decomposes tasks into executable DAGs coordinated via the Agent Interaction Protocol (AIP).

## Use cases
- automate windows applications with an llm agent
- orchestrate automation tasks across multiple devices
- decompose complex tasks into a dag of subtasks
- build a custom device agent that joins a multi-agent galaxy
- control gui apps and apis from a single agent
- automate repetitive desktop workflows on windows

## When to choose
- you need LLM-driven automation of Windows desktop applications
- you want cross-device, multi-agent orchestration with DAG-based planning
- you want a research-backed, actively developed agent framework from Microsoft

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested LTS solution and can't tolerate an actively evolving framework (Galaxy)
- your automation targets are Linux or macOS only with no Windows devices
- you need simple scripted automation without LLM costs or latency
