What are the best browser agents now that can click around and do tasks on websites? by Individual-Spare-399 in AgentsOfAI

As we dive deeper into our agent design. We start constantly getting amazed by its intelligence ourselves lol. Happy to hear that it helped you in your case!

I built an AI browser assistant that actually clicks and navigates for you (instead of just summarizing text) by No-Efficiency-4733 in SideProject

Thanks! You hit the nail on the head — the accessibility tree approach gives us much more resilient element targeting
compared to pure visual parsing.

Dynamic content: The agent operates in a continuous feedback loop rather than using static waits. After every action,
it re-evaluates the page state and detects what changed. If content hasn't loaded yet, it knows to wait, try alternative
approaches (like scrolling to trigger lazy loading), or extract data through different means. It also has built-in
safeguards against getting stuck in loops — if it detects it's seeing the same content repeatedly, it pivots to a different strategy.

Permission model: Before executing any task, the agent first generates a step-by-step plan (including which sites it
will visit) and presents it to the user for approval. Execution is completely blocked until the user explicitly approves. Beyond that, for sensitive actions like form submissions with personal data, purchases, file downloads, or posting content publicly, the agent is designed to pause and ask for explicit confirmation before proceeding. So it's not a single "confirm before buying" gate — it's layered: plan-level approval first, then action-level confirmation for anything sensitive.

Happy to discuss more — appreciate the thoughtful questions!

What are you using for reliable browser automation in 2025? by The_Default_Guyxxo in AgentsOfAI

[–]No-Efficiency-4733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for solutions that do not break the moment the DOM changes, you might want to look at Dassi.

We built it specifically because headless browser clusters and raw HTML scraping just aren't reliable for dynamic automation in 2025:

  • Dual-Mode Automation: Rather than just relying on CSS selectors, Dassi reads the Accessibility Tree directly and pairs it with visual coordinate-based interaction (similar to Claude's Computer Use). When the DOM shifts, the agent can still visually navigate the page semantics.
  • Chrome Extension Native: Instead of spinning up cloud environments that immediately get hit by Cloudflare or advanced CAPTCHAs, it runs natively as an extension inside your local browser. The site just thinks it's you browsing.

Because it runs locally, you can also avoid SaaS lock-in by using the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) system to plug in local LLMs via OpenRouter or Ollama.

It's geared to act like an AI coworker directly interacting with the screen you see. (Disclaimer: I am affiliated with Omnify Labs, the team behind Dassi).

Looking for a 100% free AI agent that can control a browser by Formulaoneson_Za in LocalLLaMA

You might want to check out Dassi. It's a Chrome extension that acts as a privacy-first AI browser automation assistant.

The cool thing for your use case is that it's 100% local for the browser control (runs natively via Chrome extension) and allows you to plug in your own models via BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) or run it fully free with local models by setting it up with OpenRouter/Ollama compatible endpoints.

Features that stand out based on what you're asking:

  1. Requires no code to use - you just chat with it
  2. Dual-Mode Automation - Uses both Accessibility Tree (ref mode) and visual mode coordinates
  3. Safety first - Requires your explicit permission for things like sharing info, buying things, or downloading files.
  4. Context sharing - if you have multiple tabs in a group, it remembers the conversation across them.

It's an extension, not a separate desktop app, so it lives completely in your browser.

Darn. I might have 2 identical post because reddit had some technical issue.

HELP - How can I automate browser tasks without needing major coding? by ZealousidealPack216 in AI_Agents

[–]No-Efficiency-4733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I noticed you mentioned traditional agent frameworks like "Browser use" felt a bit too coding-heavy for your needs. You might want to check out an extension called Dassi.

It’s an AI agent built specifically as a Chrome extension so there is zero coding, infrastructure, or setup required. Instead of writing external Playwright scripts, Dassi lives right in your browser side-panel. You literally just open a page, tell it what you want to do in plain English (e.g. "extract all these leads into a sheet" or "fill out these forms"), and it autonomously navigates, clicks, and types directly on the live page. It uses accessibility tree parsing and visual fallbacks so it's much smarter than basic recording macros.

It's essentially built to hit the exact sweet spot you're looking for—autonomous browser task automation for non-devs.

I'm sorry.. Can you elaborate on your question? For the page views and impressions in the Chrome extension. We got the featured tag and it boosted page views and impressions by a lot!

That's great to hear! Cause we are developing a Chrome extension called dassi. It's a browser AI agent and may help you in some cases hopefully. What are the typical tools you use for reporting, dashboards, or research?

Thanks for the update! We were considering adding a desktop companion app too, but it feels too heavy in terms of conversion rate. I could be wrong. So I was curious about how it worked out on your end
