AI browser ninja that can complete any task on Chrome

Hey folks, so I built a chrome extension called [name redacted], an AI assistant that automatically completes your browser tasks for you. You simply enter your task, and [name redacted] uses GPT-4V to figure out the best browser action to perform next repeatedly until the task is accomplished. The idea is that you can delegate your personal tasks like online shopping or making reservations to [name redacted]. You can also use him professionally to find leads on LinkedIn, send status updates to your boss, or research your competitors and write an analysis document. I’m wondering if you would…

In plain words

This Chrome extension uses GPT-4V to automatically complete browser-based tasks. Users describe what they need done, and the tool repeatedly performs the necessary actions until the task finishes. It handles personal tasks like online shopping and reservations, as well as professional work such as LinkedIn prospecting, status updates, and competitive research. The extension is designed for anyone looking to automate routine web-based activities.

Hey folks, so I built a chrome extension called [name redacted], an AI assistant that automatically completes your browser tasks for you. You simply enter your task, and [name redacted] uses GPT-4V to figure out the best browser action to perform next repeatedly until the task is accomplished. The idea is that you can delegate your personal tasks like online shopping or making reservations to [name redacted]. You can also use him professionally to find leads on LinkedIn, send status updates to your boss, or research your competitors and write an analysis document. I’m wondering if you would use [name redacted] as part of your daily routine? Would he be more useful in a personal or professional setting? What concerns do you with using a productivity tool like this? I'm also planning to add voice support and the ability to schedule tasks soon. Do either of these features interest you? If you want to try [name redacted], download the chrome extension and let me know what you think. It's completely free with no sign up required!

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

    Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
