AI Browser Assistant

A Chrome extension that automates browser tasks using AI. Just describe what you want to do in natural language — the AI controls the browser and gets it done.

Features

  • Natural language control — Tell the AI what to do, it handles the rest
  • Works on any website — No site-specific setup required
  • Real-time step display — Watch exactly what the AI is doing
  • Smart form filling — Fills multiple fields at once
  • Visual element overlay — All interactive elements are numbered on-screen
  • Auto-stop protection — Detects login walls, infinite loops, and stuck pages
  • Bring your own API key — Works with DeepSeek, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible API

Note: 1. In the issue, attach the tutorial link from earlier and the local weather in Singapore. 2. At the beginning of the issue, mention that this issue was created by an AI plugin, and the plugin's repository is https://github.com/sazima/ai-browser-extension
