Show HN: I built an extension that let AI controls my web browser

https://browserfly.app/
2•djyde•20h ago
Hey Hackers!

I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while: what if an AI could actually use my browser for me? I mean, not on some virtual machine in the cloud like ChatGPT agent, but right on my own browser.

I finally decided to just build it and see what would happen. I wrote a quick MVP, and honestly, I didn't expect much.

But then... it started doing things. On its own. It figured out how to use search engine to find what I needed, read a webpage to answer my questions, and even it can organize my chaotic mess of tabs into neat groups. It was a genuine "whoa" moment for me.

That's when I knew I was onto something potentially cool. I roped in a designer friend to help me make it usable (so it doesn't just look like my personal science project!), and now I think it's ready for some fresh eyes.

This is super, super early. It can be a bit wonky, and some tasks might fail. To be completely honest, I haven't even figured out the "killer" use case myself yet.

And that's the whole reason I'm posting it here. I'm just incredibly curious to see what happens when other people get their hands on it. What will you even use it for?

You can leave a feedback here or send a feedback on the extension.

Thanks!
