Almost a year back, someone proposed about TaxyAI[1], a chrome extension for browser automation. TaxyAI looks more matured compared to this. Are there any other similar tools that exist for browser automation using large language models

- hamoodhabibi 3y agoIt's always the same story with web scraping product building: On the surface it's very interesting work. There is joy in seeing the fruits of your work automating human hours. There is also pain in seeing race to the bottom in that its very tough to get a recurring client who is always looking to reduce the cost.
- LZ_Khan 3y agocare to elaborate a bit? im thinking about getting into the space
- suchintan 3y agoWe're also working in the space and just open sourced Skyvern https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/Skyvern https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/Skyvern
- 999900000999 3y agoAnyway to get this to run inside of a lambda or in another server less framework?
- suchintan 3y agoYep! It's just a standard python + postgres combo, so if you create a docker file for it it should run inside a lambda!
- suchintan 3y agoI'll create an issue to create a Docker file for Skyvern. Would make that much easier
- 999900000999 3y agoThanks! HN is awesome!
- hamoodhabibi 3y agoah this is actually quite valuable because it utilizes CV I'm kinda surprised why you chose to open source this instead of slapping AGPLv3 like all the YC funded github projects are doing
- suchintan 3y agoHaha we are not unique there. We chose AGPL-3 as well -- become some would argue it's like an open source virus -- everything it touches must become open source! How exciting.
- hamoodhabibi 3y agosuchintan are you on X by any chance how can i contact you
- suchintan 3y agoYou can message me on our discord or email me suchintan@skyvern.com

- nextaccountic 3y agoRegarding "instead of": AGPL is open source too
- anonzzzies 3y agoMight as well not be for many companies; I know many who are not allowed to even glance at AGPL code for fear of getting infected (and sued).
- orra 3y agoThat's a them problem. AGPL is clearly open source.
- fulafel 3y agoThe voice-ai-device startup Rabbit seems to have a lot of browser automation stuff in their research side, they're calling their stuff a Large Action Model: https://www.rabbit.tech/research https://www.rabbit.tech/research
- anonzzzies 3y agoBut you cannot try/download etc it right? We need open source stufff for things that control computers via a layer of vague human language. In my opinion of course.
- jimmySixDOF 3y agoI think openinterpreter [1] were one of the first teams in this space along with shroominic code interpreter api and afaik they started with selenium but have expanded to do a lot more os level work but wonder if having a more narrow specialization could help these newer projects be better at the one thing they are focused on.

We're also working on a chrome extension to support reading/writing directly to DOM: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt/pull/364 https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt/pull/364
