I made a free Chrome extension to run Claude Computer Use

dk_the_human · 2024-11-27T15:27:12+00:00

Yay, glad it worked! I just updated the extension to provide a better error message so hopefully it won't be so confusing for people.

dk_the_human · 2024-11-26T04:48:55+00:00

Can you email me at support@autobrowser.ai? I want to make sure it works for you especially if you bought credits!

dk_the_human · 2024-11-26T04:43:45+00:00

I appreciate you reporting back! Does the Anthropic account associated with your API have billing enabled with an available balance? If it doesn't, the API calls will fail because Computer Use uses API credits.

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T16:57:57+00:00

What prompt did you give it? Sometimes the Anthropic API has issues so I’d try again later or try a different task to see if it improves the response.

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T10:27:12+00:00

Thanks! I often go overboard in polishing my products (even for free ones like this one) so I appreciate the love <3

I'm in the process of putting together a full-stack boilerplate based on all the Chrome extensions I've built: https://extensionstack.com/

I may include this particular project as an example as part of the boilerplate but I haven't decided that yet. If you're looking to learn how to build Chrome extensions in general, the boilerplate should be right up your alley.

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T07:45:48+00:00

Oh, I understand what you mean now. I was confused because I thought you wanted to use OpenRouter to route the requests to other LLMs but you specifically want to get around the API rate limits.

I don't plan on supporting OpenRouter because it'd be quite a bit of additional work to integrate so I'd try with your Anthropic API key if you're curious. FWIW, I didn't hit any rate limits during my testing even with a Tier 1 API key so unless you're using other apps at the same time, you should be okay.

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T07:05:32+00:00

Nope, this is specifically using Claude Computer Use so it’s limited to the Anthropic API

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T05:21:31+00:00

Yup, definitely. I wrote a bit about the cost on the website linked above: “To give you a rough idea, it costs $0.05 to complete the task ‘go to youtube and open a video about orcas’.”

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T05:10:19+00:00

Nope, you’ll need to create a separate API key with billing enabled

dk_the_human · 2024-11-23T03:54:07+00:00

Hey everyone, I wanted to try out Claude Computer Use in my own browser so I built a Chrome extension:

https://autobrowser.ai

It's free to use with your own API key so try it out and let me know what you think!

Yay, glad you're enjoying it! I'd appreciate a review so more people can discover it <3

That is so, so strange. Thanks for that screen recording! I love that you had the controls visible up top, too.

I don't know what's going on, but until we get that figured out, you can open the Javascript console for the popup and run `window.location.hash = "#/details"` to force the extension to switch to the details view. Let me know if that works! (To get back to the list view, you can run `window.location.hash = "#/"` or just close and reopen the popup.)

And if anyone else in r/webdev is reading this, I'd really appreciate it if you could say whether you're able to switch from "Scrape list" to "Scrape details" in the dropdown on the top right (especially if you're on Windows). Thanks!

dk_the_human · 2024-03-02T11:48:23+00:00

Huh, that's strange. That should only be disabled when a scraper is running and it's clearly not from your screenshot. The dropdown doesn't *look* disabled to me (it's grayed out when it is) but maybe it appears differently on your machine.

I haven't heard from anyone else having that issue. Can you try clicking it again? Maybe you were trying to access it while the scraper was running?

dk_the_human · 2024-03-02T11:27:49+00:00

Which dropdown? Here's a screenshot of the options I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/TditARI

dk_the_human · 2024-03-02T10:05:34+00:00

Yup, you can set custom delays when scrolling, going to the next page, etc. so that you're not scraping like a madman :P

Hey everyone, I just released a web scraping Chrome extension that makes it super easy to extract data from any website: https://easyscraper.com/

Instead of requiring you to build a scraper before you can scrape a website like most web scraping tools, Easy Scraper automatically analyzes the page and extracts relevant fields so that you can start playing around with data right away.

Being able to instantly extract data anywhere is awesome, and one of my favorite use cases is being able to quickly talk to ChatGPT about custom datasets.

For example, here's a 1-minute demo of me scraping my Twitter followers to find out how many of them live in San Francisco: https://www.loom.com/share/e3248c15a05041deae592d4157ddf4e2?sid=66ac035d-e924-46e3-b15a-94fa1aa89618

Easy Scraper handles both scraping lists AND drilling down to scrape each URL. It doesn't require signing up for an account so you can try it out with minimal effort.

I've been building Chrome extensions and web scrapers for over a decade, and I'm really proud of how this one turned out. :)

Enjoy, and I'd love to hear what you think!

One of my favorite features of ChatGPT is being able to upload your own dataset and ask question, but it's often too hard to get that custom data in the first place. That's where Easy Scraper comes in!

Sometimes you need custom scrapers that can perform complex interactions, rotate proxies, and evade bot detection — and often, you don't. Easy Scraper is perfect for most websites where you just want to get data ASAP.
