I personally use it too, and I’m convinced it’s an extremely useful tool for AI agents. Feel free to try it for free.

I’ve personally found that when AI needs to interact with a browser, it often runs into site protections that make it impractical to use. This product runs locally on your PC for free. Another issue is that support for WSL2 is still incomplete across most products. I’m a Windows user myself and use Codex through WSL2, but this product is designed so it can control the browser on the Windows side.

If this isn't yours, it shouldn't be a Show HN. If it is yours, this comment is already implied.

That's a cool looking tool. Surely anti-bot protections are checkmated at this point right? It has been a valiant effort on their behalf and the latest "rotate this until it looks like that" ones bought them a few more years but the discussions for sites need to begin where they just accept bots will win right?

Thanks! Yeah, I agree — AI is getting strong enough that the old defenses don’t really feel sufficient anymore. But if you try to get AI to do it directly, the guardrails usually prevent it from actually executing. This tool looks like it can.
