Quick takeaways from Anthropic's Research Preview Extension: - Using VERY HIGH RISK Debugger Permission that malicious websites can exploit to get device access. Very surprising a major tech company shipping product with such risky per

Its hard to tell without benchmarks how useful this is going to be, as Perplexity Comet landed as a dud. Most of the other agentic chrome extensions so far used vision approach and sensitive debugger permissions, so unsure if Anthropic just

We are working on a DOM/Text Only AI Web Agent, rtrvr.ai: - an AI Web Agent that autonomously completes tasks, creates datasets from web research, and integrates any APIs/MCPs – with just prompting and in your browser!

I personally talked to another agentic browser player, fellou.ai, in the space asking them how they are keeping up with all the Chromium pushes as you need a dedicated team to handle the merges, they flat out told me they are targeting tech

Honestly excited to see the benchmark result and comparison! Our benchmark results [ https://www.rtrvr.ai/blog/web-bench-results ] show that we are 7x faster than browser-use so curious to see if your claims live up to t

Do you have any benchmarks to share like Halluminate's Web Bench?

I mean you could build the agent with a first principles understanding of the DOM instead of just hacking together with the accessibility tree

We had this exact thought as well, you don't need a whole browser to implement the agentic capabilities, you can implement the whole thing with the limited permissions of a browser extension. There are plenty of zero day exploit patche

The MCP hype is a distraction. AI agents should just build their own tools(rtrvr.ai)

The prevailing wisdom in the agentic AI space is that progress lies in building standardized servers and directories for tool discovery (like MCP). After extensive development, we believe this approach, while well-intentioned, is a cumberso

We directly leverage the user's own browser so no cloud browser hosting or proxying costs! We averaged only $0.1/task. The whole idea of cloud browser agents is a stupid paradigm. The agents are not only 7x slower but have the cos

As others have mentioned, these agentic capabilities are fully achievable within a Chrome Extension. In fact, we built one, rtrvr.ai that has even better Web Agent performance than Open AI's Operator with human assistant and 7x faster

Manus and GenSpark showed the importance of giving AI Agents access to an array of tools that are themselves agents, such as browser agent, CLI agent or slides agent. Users found it super useful to just input some text and the agent figures

I am kind of confused why can't you just create a new MCP tool that encapsulates parsing and other required steps together in a code block? This would be more reliable than expecting the LLM to generate working code 100% of the time?

No I meant similar to how Uber offers a discount for you to walk a bit to the pickup location. You request on app, and it sends you to a more central pickup/dropoff points

Taking this even further would be to autonomous dynamically rerouting minibuses: - you have app, and you enter destination - optimal minibus reroutes itself to pick you up and take you there with mix of walking, while dropping off other pas

Are you making a straw man argument? I am not injecting js code, we solved this problem in a secure way with minimal permissions taken by our Chrome Extension, which runs in safe and secure sandbox within the browser. Perhaps we are talking

Yes, I was able to figure out a secure way to control the browser with AI Agents at rtrvr.ai without using debugger permissions/tools so it is most definitely possible. I meant by in production in the sense how you are advising your us
