Tabstack – Browser infrastructure for AI agents (by Mozilla)

Hi HN, My team and I are building Tabstack to handle the "web layer" for AI agents. Launch Post: https://tabstack.ai/blog/intro-browsing-infrastructure-ai-ag... Maintaining a complex infrastructure stack for web browsing is one of the biggest bottlenecks in building reliable agents. You start with a simple fetch, but quickly end up managing a complex stack of proxies, handling client-side hydration, and debugging brittle selectors. and writing custom parsing logic for every site. Tabstack is an API that abstracts that infrastructure. You send a URL and an intent; we…

In plain words

Tabstack is an API that handles web browsing infrastructure for AI agents. Instead of developers managing complex stacks of proxies, rendering, and custom parsing for each website, they send Tabstack a URL and an intent, and receive clean, structured data back. The service uses escalation logic to start with lightweight fetches and only deploy full browser automation when needed, reducing costs and complexity.

    Hi HN, My team and I are building Tabstack to handle the web layer for AI agents. Today we are sharing Tabstack Research, an API for multi-step web discovery and synthesis. https://tabstack.ai/blog/tabstack-research-verified-answers In many agent systems, there is a clear distinction between extracting structured data from a single page and answering a question that requires reading across many sources. The first case is fairly well served today. The second usually is not. Most teams handle research by combining search, scraping, and summarization. This becomes brittle…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
