Automate your browser with AI.

In the last few years, AI has made huge leaps in capabilities and many of us can barely go a few minutes without confessing our dumbest questions to our benevolent AI chatgods.

When the Claude 3.5 computer use API was released, I thought that my days of using a mouse and keyboard were offically over and that it was finally time to go touch grass while AI did all my work.

Unfortunately, I can't log off forever and disappear into the wilderness just yet. While the new capabilities are certainly impressive, the technology is still very new and the AI often makes silly mistakes.

This is a very long-winded way of saying please exercise caution and supervise AI actions at all times when using AutoBrowser. Don't use it for important tasks that actually matter, unless you like to live dangerously and are cool with having a thousand rolls of toilet paper show up at your house because the AI happened to click the wrong button.

Given that AutoBrowser is a fun experiment, it's free to use! However, you'll need to cover the cost of the AI usage because having AI control a computer costs a lot of money and I'm not exactly trying to enter financial destitution showing off a cool toy on the Internet.

You can bring your own Anthropic API key, but if you don't have one or want to support the project (thank you!), you can purchase credits that will be used toward your AI usage. Credits are billed at 1.3x the actual cost of your AI usage and will help me recoup the several hundred dollars I've spent on hosting costs and this trendy .ai domain name (okay yeah, maybe that wasn't a great idea 😅).

Please note that using the Claude 3.5 computer use API gets expensive quite quickly. To give you a rough idea, it costs $0.05 to complete the task "go to youtube and open a video about orcas".

Lastly, there are no refunds for credits. As strongly emphasized above, the AI often makes mistakes, so it's really on you if you're disappointed that this tool doesn't perfectly answer your emails, file your taxes, and find your soulmate. I want this to be magical as much as you do but the technology just isn't quite there yet.

AutoBrowser is a neat demo of giving AI full control over a browser, but it's not yet reliable or cost-effective enough for real-world applications.

Over the last five years, I've been building browser automation tools to help people save time with web scraping and workflow automation. If you're looking for solutions that work reliably today, check them out:

• Browserflow - Point-and-click Chrome extension for scraping websites and automating workflows. Loved by hundreds of happy customers.
• Browserbot (Coming soon) - Next-generation version of Browserflow that uses AI to make it even easier to build automations
