Products that do what AI Operator on Your Mac does

Hey HN, I built an AI-powered UI for macOS that automates tasks on both macOS and in browsers. I didn’t want to pay $200 for OpenAI’s operator, so I made my own using browser-use and macOS-use. It handles simple tasks like scraping data, filling out forms, and using macOS apps. It's not great at working with files yet, but I’m planning to improve that with custom tools for the LLM. The goal is to create a desktop “pet” that takes care of boring stuff—like drafting documents and filling out forms. Check it out and let me know what you think!

    Hi HN, I'm one of the creators of Nanobrowser, an open-source Chrome extension that lets you automate web tasks using AI agents. We were inspired by the potential of tools like OpenAI's Operator, but we wanted something that was: -Open-Source:You can see the code, modify it, and contribute to the project. -Browser-Based:No complex setups or server deployments. It runs directly in your browser. -Customizable:You can tailor the agent's behavior to your specific needs. -BYO LLM:Bring your own large language model API key (OpenAI, Anthropic,or even local models), No vendor lock-in. -Privacy…
