Finally, a browser automation framework for Agents that actually works in production (open-source)! Typical browser automation tools like Selenium or Playwright require you to hard-code automation. These are brittle since one change in the website can disrupt the full workflow. On the other hand, high-level Agents like OpenAI Operator... can be unpredictable in production. Stagehand is an open-source framework that bridges the gap between: - brittle traditional automation like Playwright, Selenium, etc. and - unpredictable full-agent solutions like OpenAI Operator. Key features: - Use AI when you want to navigate unfamiliar pages. - Use code (Playwright) when you know exactly what to do. - Preview AI actions before running them. - Cache repeatable actions to save tokens. - Compatible with SOTA computer use models with just one line of code. - Available in both Python and TypeScript SDK. Stagehand also has an open-source MCP server. Find a link to the repo in the comments! 👉 Over to you: Would you use this instead of Selenium?show more

Browser automation framework for Agents that actually works! 🔥

Bui Dinh Ngoc11 months ago

I'm curious how it handles authentication flows and CAPTCHAs compared to traditional automation. Those edge cases are where most tools fall apart.

What if I told you just need a single download of @BrowserOperator browser to get the same functionality with @AnthropicAI models!! 😉 #OpenSourceAI #AIBrowser

Have you used this? Do you have examples of this in production? Highly sceptical myself. I have a fundamental problem with approach, which is extremely expensive to run and very slow. I found a better technique that still takes advantage of language model flexibility but is at least 10x times faster. And cheaper.

Automating agents reliably needs more than just avoiding hard-coded workflows; true resilience requires adaptability.

Hyperagent from Hyperbrowser is the AI-native browser automation framework - think Playwright supercharged with AI. No more brittle scripts, just powerful natural language commands.

No need to pay $200 to use Operator You can create an agent that uses a web browser without writing a line of code. Combine DeepSeek R1 and Browser Use (free and open source) and you're good to go. (Links and prompt below)

OpenAI Operator looks great here is a open source version of it you can use now see an agent that uses your browser to perform tasks for you developers get started in a few lines of code pip install 'ai-gradio[browser]' import gradio as gr import ai_gradio gr.load( name='browser:gpt-4o', src=ai_gradio.registry, title='AI Browser Agent', description='Agent that helps with web tasks' ).launch()

Incredible. If you’ve been frustrated (like I have!) by pricey AI agents that feel like black boxes, you’ve got to try the new Stagehand! 🔥 It's a web agent SDK that runs locally or in the cloud, gives you full browser control, works with any LLM, & is 100% open-source! 🧵 ↓

Building AI agents and tools is getting ridiculously easy! Here is a pretty impressive FREE and Open-Source AI agent builder that runs on your computer. It's a desktop app you can install on Mac or Windows. Link: • Free • 100% no-code: You can type what you want, and the tool will build everything for you. • You can use local models like DeepSeek or Qwen, or connect to cloud models like GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini with your API key. • You can turn the tools you build into MCP Servers. I recorded a quick video to show you how easy it is to build something from scratch.

You should really stop using Zapier or Make. Deploying Python scripts on Replit takes less than 5 min and is cheaper. Just describe what you want to automate and AI takes care of writing the code. For example, I created an automation that merges all the PDFs in a folder on Drive into a single file. All that's left to do is: - Copy/paste the API key - Click on "Run" And you're done! In this case I used Aider Chat (free and open source), but you can also use Replit Agent.

We just open-sourced Simulang, a JavaScript library that gives you and your coding agents the ability to fully control computers. Simulang is our scripting framework for desktop automation. It allows you to write deterministic computer use code that can be replayed dozens if not hundreds of times. Much faster and cheaper, compared to LLM agents. It ships with a skill out of the box. That means you can turn natural language prompts into Simulang code directly, and your agent can now see the screen, click, type, and navigate. It gives your AI agents eyes and hands to control the computer like humans do. Try these things with Simulang: - upload your pile of invoices to the expense platform - find 50 people with specific criteria on LinkedIn - open your calculator app and do some math - find all buttons on your favorite app using accessibility tree - or draw a bunny with MS paint 🐰 In this demo, we show how Simulang took over when the coding agent couldn’t open and click on the target LinkedIn profile page. Give it a try:

Did you know that Claude Code can use the browser to QA its own work? 1. Run `claude mcp add playwright -- npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest` 2. Tell Claude where your app is running, e.g localhost:8000 3. Now Claude can click and type to make sure its code is actually working!

AI web agents like Operator and Anthropic’s Computer Use can operate a browser, but the LLMs inside are brittle, and you can’t trust what’s on the web. In this 🧵, I’ll show how adversaries can fool Anthropic’s web agent into sending phishing emails or revealing credit card info.

SITUATION EXPLAINED: What happens to open source when the US restricts access to frontier AI models? We asked Adrian Dittmann: "China is releasing these models [open source] to gain international dominance, people will work on these things and say, 'Hey, maybe I can contribute to this if it's open source.' This is the thing that actually gets them talent." "If you're not allowed into the next GPT release or you're not allowed to use Fable, then what are you gonna do? You're stuck with the existing stuff, or you will have to use an open source model that might have subtly better capabilities." "The United States will catch up to open source in some form as well. They seem to just be maximizing product creation." "The problem with open source models is you have to be kind of a nerd in order to use them properly. Consumer facing, the effects will be minimal because the average person doesn't care about open source models. They only care whether or not they can do a quick search with Gemini or ChatGPT."

Peak AI: Never play Minecraft alone again Steve is an open-source Minecraft mod that brings LLM-powered AI agents (Groq, OpenAI, Gemini) directly into the game. Instead of helping you write code, these agents play alongside you - mining, building, exploring, and fighting through natural language commands. You type things like “mine some iron” or “build a house”, and the agent understands the context, plans a sequence of actions, and executes them autonomously. Source: YuvDwi Github (link in comments)
