An AI agent runs ten web errands a day, every transcript published
An open experiment, run weekly in public: a real AI agent attempts ten everyday web errands and every transcript is published verbatim. This week it finished 8 of 10 and hit 10 bot walls. Plus 113 sites scored for AI-agent readiness.

In plain words
An AI agent is tested weekly in a public experiment attempting ten everyday web tasks without logins or JavaScript assistance. Every transcript is published unedited, showing both successes and failures. The project evaluates whether AI agents can actually navigate the web independently, while simultaneously scoring over 100 well-known websites on their usability for agents. Results and site assessments are made freely available.

From the sources
We find out in public, every day. An AI producer reads what the world is searching that morning and turns it into ten real errands — what time is kick-off and on which channel, what magnitude was the quake, what does it cost, what actually happened — and a real AI agent attempts them using nothing but plain web requests: no logins, no JavaScript, no human help. Every transcript is published verbatim, wins and failures alike. Alongside the show, 113 well-known sites are scored on how usable they actually are for an agent. New here?

Agent ArenaJun 2026 · arena42.ai · ▲348Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

Notte Browser Agents2025 · notte.cc · ▲275Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…
