Ha! I just saw this win an AI Hackaton in Toronto but they said it was their own thing, quite dishonest. Everyone was rightfully impressed, me as well not gonna lie. I was a bit sus someone could come up with something like this in a weekend, but they were from U of Waterloo, Vector Institute and whatnot, so I said "maybe". Now I know they were just a bunch of scammers, sad. Anyway, this is a great project, congratulations. It's so good it's making other people win already, lol. I have so many use cases for this. I truly wish you the best! Edit: Downvote me all you want, if you love scammers so much I can send you their contact so you can "invest" in their trash. Lol.

Did they claim the project as their own, or did they use the open source to build a project?

  They claimed the project as their own, with a title like "AI agents that do things for you". One of the judges explicitly asked if they actually made this thing or was it something else like "a video" showing what it would be like. One of the team members confidently replied it was real and that they made it all during the weekend. It was a bit too good to be true. Edit: I found a video of the thing. I initially posted it here but decided to delete it, the reason for that is I don't think they deserve to be publicly shamed. We were all having fun and they probably got a little carried away. If any of them sees this just don't do that next time. Play fair.

    The audacity. Imagine if someone googled and exposed them.

Most hackathons are like that.

For me, it simply demonstrates how easy and fast you can build these tools now. We have many fellow YC founders who build great products on top of browser-use. They don't have to quote us. I think it's awesome to enable so many new startup ideas.
