AI Browser▲143Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…

Hey folks, today we at Currents are releasing a brand new AI skill to help AI agents be really smart when writing tests, debugging them, or anything Playwright-related really. This is a very comprehensive skill, covering everyday topics like fixing flakiness, authentication, or writing fixtures... to more niche topics like testing Electron apps, PWAs, iFrames and so forth. It should make your agent much better at writing, debugging and maintaining Playwright code. for whoever didn't learn about skills yet, it's a new powerful feature that allows you to make the AI agents in your…

I created this tool a few months ago to automate some of my tasks. I use it to collect prices and files and to get notified when something changes on certain websites. The task runner uses Playwright. I'm not sure if it can be useful to anybody else besides me :) Any feedback is welcome.

Libretto (https://libretto.sh) is a Skill+CLI that makes it easy for your coding agent to generate deterministic browser automations and debug existing ones. Key shift is going from “give an agent a prompt at runtime and hope it figures things out” to: “Use coding agents to generate real scripts you can inspect, run, and debug”. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDpIntmHAM. Docs start at https://libretto.sh/docs/get-started/introduction. We spent a year building and maintaining browser automations for EHR and payer portal…

Write a task in plain English. An AI agent runs it on a simulator on your Mac and tells you if a real user could complete it. Save the successful run as a regression check you can replay later.

Libretto PR agents is a free TypeScript library for maintaining Playwright browser automations. Add one line of code to your existing Playwright scripts and it lets an agent automatically open GitHub PRs fixing the script when it fails. A few months ago we released Libretto, a CLI + coding-agent skill for building deterministic browser automations. The idea was that for many browser workflows, especially repetitive business workflows, you don’t need an AI agent making decisions at runtime. You want deterministic Playwright scripts that are inspectable, faster to run, and much cheaper than…

Hey HN! My name is Christian, and I’m the co-founder of https://frigade.ai. We’ve built an AI agent that automatically learns how to use any web-based product, and in turn guides users directly in the UI, automatically generates documentation, and even takes actions on a user’s behalf. Think of it as Clippy from the old MS Office. But on steroids. And actually helpful. You can see the agent and tool-calling SDK in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPe0t3A1Vpg How is this different from other AI customer support products? Most AI "copilots" are really just…
