Show HN: Solomon's Agent - a CLI to simplify the web

I've been working on a side project called Solomon's Agent, a fast command-line tool designed to reduce the friction of interacting with the web. Instead of switching to a browser for a quick lookup or form submission, you can pass a URL directly to the agent to get the key details and interact with the page. It fetches the page content, uses an AI model (Gemini) to generate a concise summary, and then identifies interactive elements like links and forms. You're then presented with a clean prompt in your terminal, allowing you to read the gist or act on the page without leaving the command line.

Basically, this tool acts as a smart filter for webpages while retaining interaction. It parses a page to surface only the essential content and the most common next steps, streamlining tasks like reading the news, researching on Wikipedia, or getting a quick weather update.

The project started as a fun exploration while I look for my next role. It's built with TypeScript, using Playwright for headless Browse and @clack/prompts for an elegant CLI experience. The goal was to create a more focused way to engage with web content, stripping away the noise and getting straight to the information and actions. The code is still in its early stages, and I would love to get your feedback and hear any ideas you might have (PR welcome).

P.s. it currently only handles simple single field forms like search boxes.

Ask HN: Do we need a language designed specifically for AI code generation?
