In plain words

Kane CLI is a command-line tool that runs browser and mobile app tests written in natural language. Developers and AI coding agents describe what they want to test, and the tool executes it in a real Chrome browser, returning pass or fail results with shareable proof. It requires no selector writing and operates locally, making it free to start. The tool integrates with existing development workflows and can read project documentation to automatically generate test scenarios.

An agentic quality verifier for developers and AI coding agents. Describe a test in natural language, and Kane CLI runs it in a real Chrome browser and returns pass or fail with shareable proof. No selectors to write. Local-first, free to start.

Kane CLI runs browser and mobile app tests from your terminal. Describe a test in natural language, get a pass or fail with shareable proof.

Kane CLI is an "agentic quality verifier" which executes software the way a user would, in a real browser and on mobile, and returns an evidence-backed pass or fail you can defend. Browser automation and mobile automation in plain English, with no selectors. Every step, screenshot and log is recorded, so you can walk back through any failure. Link tests to your requirements. See which ones a real run has proven. One requirement, traced through all four: Users can reset a forgotten password. Reads your spec and lists what must be true. You approve it. Writes one test per scenario, each linked to its requirement. You review them. Runs on your machine or the TestMu AI cloud, and seals the…from testmuai.com

    Hi HN! Smooth CLI (https://www.smooth.sh) is a browser that agents like Claude Code can use to navigate the web reliably, quickly, and affordably. It lets agents specify tasks using natural language, hiding UI complexity, and allowing them to focus on higher-level intents to carry out complex web tasks. It can also use your IP address while running browsers in the cloud, which helps a lot with roadblocks like captchas (https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip). Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62jthcU705k Docs start at…

    I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
