Skyvern 2.0 – open-source AI Browser Agent scoring 85.8% on WebVoyager
Hey HN, We’re Suchintan and Shu from Skyvern (https://www.skyvern.com). We’re building an open source AI Agent that can browse the web and take actions. Our open source repo can be found at https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/Skyvern. We’ve re-built Skyvern with a Planner-Actor-Validator agent architecture and achieved 85.8% state of the art (SOTA) on the WebVoyager Benchmark. You can see the results for yourself here: https://eval.skyvern.com/ For reference, here were the previous SOTA results: 83.5% - Google Mariner…

Skyvern – Browser automation using LLMs and computer vision2024 · github.com · ▲422Hey HN, we're building Skyvern (https://www.skyvern.com), an open-source tool that uses LLMs and computer vision to help companies automate browser-based workflows. You can see some examples here: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#real-world-examples-of... and there's a demo video at https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern#demo, along with some instructions on running it locally. We provide a natural-language API to automate repetitive manual workflows that happen within the companies' backoffices. You can check out our code and play with…
Index – New Open Source browser agent2025 · github.com · ▲98Hey HN, Robert from Laminar (lmnr.ai) here. We built Index - new SOTA Open Source browser agent. It reached 92% on WebVoyager with Claude 3.7 (extended thinking). o1 was used as a judge, also we manually double checked the judge. At the core is same old idea - run simple JS script in the browser to identify interactable elements -> draw bounding boxes around them on a screenshot of a browser window -> feed it to the LLM. What made Index so good: 1. We essentially created browser agent observability. We patched Playwright to record the entire browser session while the agent operates,…
Browserfly2025 · browserfly.app · ▲203Hey Hackers! I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while: what if an AI could actually use my browser for me? I mean, not on some virtual machine in the cloud like ChatGPT agent, but right on my own browser. I finally decided to just build it and see what would happen. I wrote a quick MVP, and honestly, I didn't expect much. But then... it started doing things. On its own. It figured out how to use search engine to find what I needed, read a webpage to answer my questions, and even it can organize my chaotic mess of tabs into neat groups. It was a genuine "whoa" moment for me. That's…
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…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
