I'm Huss, one of the cofounders at Steel. The thing I am curious about is vertical evals. BrowseComp and DRACO are useful, but they are not a finance, health, legal, or procurement workflow. If you have built a domain-specific research

Hey HN! With all the recent developments in AI web agents space (like OpenAI Operator and Manus), I’ve been connecting with countless engineers looking to navigate this space and build similar capabilities into their own products. That’s wh

Totally agreed. Only good as inputs to a stack decision but not the deciding factor. WebVoyager itself feels like it's approaching saturation though as scores as getting high and it only tests on a narrow domain of use-cases. We'l

Hey all! Wanted to share this leaderboard we put together to centralize some of the different models available in the AI browser agent space. Since working on Steel, we've seen a ton of people have a hard time putting the browser agent

scalar is the absolute best; we've had a great experience building on them so far :P

Our end goal is to build the LLM OS. We think the best place to start is the hardest but most hairy problem - getting agents to use an internet design for humans on our behalf. So, as we go, we want to keep building towards relieving blocke

ah, we could definitely do better in communicating that. Most of the work is ahead of us but we currently help ai devs in a few ways: - designing with sessions as the atomic unit -- we wanted them to be spun up and discarded in a serverless

That honestly sounds so fun! Who better to build your defences than your attackers ahaha Tying into your concern, keeping IPs fresh and high quality will definitely be a balancing act as we get bigger. It'd be one today too if we were

Yeah, that’s totally fair! Not everybody will. In our experience, the problems we solve are the creeping kind that develop over time and show themselves as maintenance costs. Let’s say we want to add web automation to our app, and we'v

haha, I love this analogy! If we can do for deploying web automation to prod what Vercel did for deploying front-ends, I'd be a happy camper. With even friendlier pricing of course :P
