Hi HN!<p>I've been building browser automation tools for several years now [0] so when Anthropic came out with Computer Use, I made a Chrome extension to try it out: <a href="https://autobrowser.ai" rel="nofollow">https://autobrowser.ai</a><p>My general takeaways from building on Computer Use:<p>- It's fun to play around with but not yet reliable enough for real-world usage<p>- It's expensive! ("go to youtube and play a video about orcas" costs around $0.05)<p>- It performs WAY better if you send it screenshots after every action rather than waiting for it to ask you for one (but this also increases the cost)<p>This is a fun experiment so it's free to use with your own API key. Try it out and let me know what you think!<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29254147">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29254147</a>
