In plain words

BrowserAct is a web browser automation tool designed for AI agents to interact with real websites. It enables agents to navigate blocked pages, handle dynamic scenarios, execute multiple tasks concurrently, and extract clean data for analysis. The tool supports browsing, clicking, form filling, file uploads, authenticated sessions, verification handling, and repeatable workflows, making it useful for AI applications that require reliable web interaction capabilities.

From the sources

BrowserAct is built for agents using the web. It gives agents a browser layer for real websites, so they can pass blocked pages, adapt to real scenarios, run multiple tasks safely, and return clean web data for reasoning. Use BrowserAct when an agent needs to browse, click, extract, fill forms, upload files, work inside logged-in sites, handle verification, or run repeatable browser workflows.

Describe the web data you need. BrowserAct builds and verifies a reusable scraper on the live site, then runs it whenever you need fresh results.

Describe your goal. Get a reusable scraper or automation bot. No code. Partners include AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, BytePlus, and Baidu AI Cloud. Collect structured data and files, reuse the same Bot, and scale without managing browser infrastructure. Structured data and source files, without code or selectors. Keep using the same Bot with less maintenance as pages change. Get consistent outputs with more predictable run time and cost. BrowserAct manages browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and capacity for you. BrowserAct explores the site, builds, and verifies your Bot. Browsers, identities, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and scheduling, managed…from browseract.com

    Hey 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…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
