Browserfly is an AI agent that lives in your browser. You give it a task and it will interact with the browser just like a human. No virtual machine, not another browser.
Hey Hunters,
So, 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 computer use, 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 when I knew I was onto something potentially cool. I roped in a designer friend to help me make it usable (so it doesn't just look like my personal science project!), and now I think it's ready for some fresh eyes.
This is super, super early. It can be a bit wonky, and some tasks might fail. To be completely honest, I haven't even figured out the "killer" use case myself yet.
And that's the whole reason I'm posting it here. I'm just incredibly curious to see what happens when other people get their hands on it. What will you even use it for?
You can leave a feedback here or send a feedback on the extension.
Thanks!
@randyloop Super cool that it can interact with the DOM! Can I ask the agent to remove annoying ads or overlays? 😛

@randyloop Well, there goes my next side project idea :p. Seriously though, this looks fantastic and is exactly what I had in mind for a lightweight browser agent. You guys nailed it .
Okay wow, not having to run a whole separate browser or VM for an AI agent is super smart—makes life way easier tbh. Realy cool work on this, team!

I had this in mind exactly! Blown away by how good this looks.
One feedback, I think the Free version is too limiting. Perhaps you could limit the entire funtionality of 'researching/redirecting' to PRO and have FREE version only analyze the page you're on?
Just a thought. Look forward to installing on my personal laptop (currently on my work one)
Another point of improvement - not a fan of the logo color. I think it should be a bit more vibrant but that's just my preference
No way—an AI that works *inside* my browser without any extra setup? That’s genius. I waste so much time on repetitive tabs; this could totally save my afternoons!
Wow this is awesome. Hope you're making it to #1 today :)

This is super cool @randyloop .We had a similar “whoa” moment while building our trading app-wanted to see what it’d be like if AI could actually help make sense of all the market chaos in real time: trend spotting, social sentiment, alerts, the whole deal. Fingers crossed ours gets some love after launch too 🤞 Big congrats on getting this out there man, excited to see where it goes!

Browserfly feels like cheating in the best way. You give it a task, and it handles the browser just like a human would. No VMs, no parallel browser hacks, just smart automation riding alongside your regular workflow.
Ngl, having an AI that can mess with the DOM right in my browser is wild—finally, I can zap those annoying overlays for good. This is genius, fr!

I think the SaaS layer & touch and domain specific plugins can do wonders and will add touch for responsiveness as all in one tool for sole business creators.

Very useful for marketing use. Now I can do desk research and client search in parallel

@randyloop are you gonna have it be able to edit elements too? should try morph for fast edits if so!

@kamatok Yes. I'm working on separating the "ask mode" and the "agent mode" . The ask mode would have lot more quota.
