Great that this exists, and a shame that it'll probably never get a similar level of attention from funders, participants, or the press.

It is true that a large portion of the tablets are probably going to be boring (bills, records, etc). But we mustn't forget that the tablets we have excavated and translated so far have given us gems like the Epic of Gilgamesh and the

I'm a big fan of the Vesuvius challenge (and Graeco-Roman history/philosophy) but I'm not convinced if the effort justifies the reward here, relative to other pockets of ancient writings we can use technology for reading and

I just finished reading da Vinci's biography by Walter Isaacson, which left me with a different sense of what it means to finish a piece of work. He famously never "finished" anything and eventually abandoned most of the proj

I built a very similar extension [1] a couple of months ago that supports a wide range of models, including Claude, and enables them to take control of a user's browser using tools for mouse and keyboard actions, observation, etc. It&#

Shocking no one has mentioned Jian Yang's hotdog app :) [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwCK95X6go&ab_channel=Felix Love the simplicity of this.

I wonder if the same would also be true for immunosuppressants administered for autoimmune conditions. Given they mostly interact with the signaling pathways, I guess in theory they should also be more effective in the morning if there is m

Good analysis. Would it make sense to look at cumulative capital raised in addition to whether the companies have raised a Series A, to account for large seed rounds which don't seem uncommon with this cohort of companies? Series A as

The raison d'être for BrowserBee is to control the user's browser in a private fashion so they can automate tasks that require them to be logged in. I'm unsure how it would work in a remote browser setup - tools like Browser

I've been working on a browser use agent embedded within a Chrome extension: https://github.com/parsaghaffari/browserbee You can use it to check and summarize news and social media, fill out forms, send messages,

Looks powerful at least for read only use cases. Will have a look and compare token stats. Thanks

Great suggestion, will add custom Ollama configurations to the next release

It can fill forms - the agent can invoke a large number of tools to both observe and interact with a page

Is that with 2.5 Flash? I got that error intermittently with that mode, but the other Gemini models worked fine. I'll investigate

That looks very cool. Would love to chat if you're open to it

Yes! Sometimes it does it even without the user asking which is very satisfying :)

In a way this should be a core feature of any browser and if this project accelerates/improves that by 5% I will be very happy! The fact that Chrome and Gemini are, at least for now, owned by the same company raises huge privacy and co

Good spot. I probably shouldn't have the 2nd most expensive model in the demo! Some of the cheaper models have very similar performance at a fraction of a cost, or indeed you could use a local model for "free". The core issue

I will look into this. Speed and inefficiency due to the low information density of raw DOM tokens is the single biggest issue for this type of thing right now.

Thanks a lot! :) I might write a short post on the development process, but in short: - started development during Easter so roughly a month so far - developed mostly using Cline and Claude 3.7 - inspired and borrowed heavily by Cline, Play

I'll be exploring a FF port. There are a couple of tight Chrome dependencies that need to be rethought (IndexedDB for storage and CDP for most actions)

Thank you! :) Would love to explore a FF port. Right now, there are a couple of tight Chrome dependencies: - CDP - mostly abstracted away by Playwright so perhaps not a big lift - IndexedDB for storing memories and potentially other user da

yes, you can ask it to both observe (e.g. query an element) or interact with (e.g. click on) elements, for example using selectors or a high level reference like the label or the color of a button

Thank you! I like that suggestion. Saved prompts seem like an obvious addition, and having templating within them makes sense. I wonder how well would "for each of the following websites do X" prompts work (so have the LLM do the

yes, the LLM can invoke observation tools (e.g. read the text/DOM or take a screenshot) to retrieve the context it needs to take the next action
