BrowserSkill
BrowserSkill connects AI agents to a browser, allowing agents to perform tasks using the user's existing login state in Chrome or Edge.
BrowserSkill creates a bridge between shell-capable AI agents and the Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser. It allows agents to use existing login sessions to read webpages, fill forms, and manage browser workflows without interrupting the user. The system uses a CLI tool and a browser extension to facilitate these interactions in a dedicated Agent Window. Users choose their preferred agent, such as those compatible with the bsk CLI, while BrowserSkill provides the browser control connection. The platform also includes specific debugging tools for inspecting network requests, console logs, and page performance metrics.
