I thought Claude Computer Use is through API, and I remember hearing about high number of queries and charges. This looks like its in browser through the standard $20 Pro fee, which is huge. (EDIT: $200 a month plan so less of a slam dunk but still might be worth it) Is there any open source or cheap ways to automate things on your computer? For instance I was thinking about a workflow like: 1. Use web to search for [companies] with conditions 2. Use linked in sales navigator to identify people in specific companies and loose search on job title or summary / experience 3. Collect the names for review Or linked in only: Look at leads provided, and identify any companies they had worked for previously and find similar people in that job title It doesn't have to be computer use, but given that it relies on my LinkedIn login, it would have to be.

If you are worried about costs you can use Browser Use with deepseek which becomes super cheap! https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use

  Exactly what I was look for. Thank you. I wish they had Gemini since the free tier is generous but I guess it's in the works. I'll take a look and see how bad it would be implement

> Is there any open source or cheap ways to automate things on your computer? MacOS has had Automator since 2005. It's far more like "programming" to use than a 2024-tier ML based system, but it was designed for non-programmers, and lots of people do use it. Personally, I hate it.
