Ask HN: Any local agents to help repetitive browser tasks?

3•pcdoodle•1h ago
Been spending a lot of time just buying and printing labels through an e-commerce platform and it got me wondering: is there anything to run on a local PC that could automate this?

You might be able to use AutoHotKey rather than looking for an AI agent.

Good recommendation. I see there’s others using this as well for this type of task, but it’s not fully automated. They got it to the point where it detects PDFs of shipping labels and automatically prints, but not the purchasing part.

Playwright is a great tool for this. There is a helper for writing automations. It's commonly used for automated testing but it's good for controlling a browser with Python scripts in general.
