MacPaw Research argues that computer-use AI systems underperform on macOS because public training datasets contain almost no Mac interface data. Their new open-source project, GUIrilla, addresses this by automatically exploring macOS applications and generating structured UI datasets at scale. The release includes GUIrilla-Task, a dataset covering over 1,100 Mac apps and 27,000 tasks, plus macapptree, a Python library for extracting accessibility metadata from Mac applications. Together, these tools aim to improve AI agents, UI understanding models, and developer tooling across the Mac ecosystem.
