Hi HN!
I've been building browser automation tools for several years now [0] so when Anthropic came out with Computer Use, I made a Chrome extension to try it out: https://autobrowser.ai
My general takeaways from building on Computer Use:
- It's fun to play around with but not yet reliable enough for real-world usage
- It's expensive! ("go to youtube and play a video about orcas" costs around $0.05)
- It performs WAY better if you send it screenshots after every action rather than waiting for it to ask you for one (but this also increases the cost)
This is a fun experiment so it's free to use with your own API key. Try it out and let me know what you think!
