Argos - The AI that acts as you, right in your browser

by•
Most AI just tells you what to do. Argos does it. It works right inside your browser using your own logged-in accounts — clicking, typing, filling forms, and finishing real tasks. Ask it in the sidebar or text it on Telegram/WhatsApp, and it runs live or in the background, then hands you the result. Native in Gmail, Docs and Sheets. Connects GitHub, Slack, Notion and more. Your data stays on your device. Free to start.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I kept hitting the same wall with AI tools: they'd give me a great answer, then leave the actual doing to me — the copying between tabs, the form-filling, the "now go run this yourself." So we built Argos to close that gap. Argos lives in your browser and acts as you, not just for you. It uses your own logged-in accounts to actually click, type, and finish tasks — live while you watch, or in the background while you're somewhere else. You can even text it from Telegram or WhatsApp and get the finished file back. The hardest part was trust: an agent with real access to your accounts has to be safe. So everything runs locally, your data never leaves your device, and anything destructive stops to ask first. Would love your honest feedback — what would you hand off to it first?

Nice to see some new worthy products!

 Thank you! Means a lot, especially on launch day. Let us know if you end up trying it out — always looking for feedback.

The stops-to-ask-first part for destructive actions makes sense. The failure mode I keep hitting with browser agents is quieter: a click reports success but the action never actually landed, usually from a late loading element shifting the page under it. How does Argos verify a click or form fill actually took, versus just trusting the click event fired?

 Good catch, that's the exact failure mode that makes browser agents feel flaky even when they "work." A couple things have to hold for a click or fill to count as done, not just dispatched:

  • We re-locate the target element right before acting rather than reusing a handle from earlier in the plan, so a late-loading widget that shifts the layout doesn't leave us clicking a stale or now-wrong node.

  • After acting, we check for the actual consequence, not just that the event fired — a field's value getting read back, a network request tied to a submit, a DOM/URL change tied to a click — since a debounced handler or an invisible overlay can eat a click event with zero visible error.

  • We wait on the DOM actually settling (not a fixed timeout) before deciding the page is ready to interact with, so a slow-loading element doesn't just relocate the race to a different frame.
