Hey Alex, we had similar thoughts at Retriever AI of moving from webpage interactions to reverse engineering the underlying APIs.

Compared to your our approach, we are doing this entirely within a browser extension so meeting users where they already doing their existing work.

Within the extension just record doing a task, we reverse engineer the APIs and write a script. Then execute the script from within the webpage so that auth/headers/tokens get automatically added.

You can just prompt to reuse the tools at zero token cost.



Interesting. We essentially do the same thing, but with MITM. We have a chrome extension internally, but have found it's a bit of a clunky interface. Might be releasing one soon. The approach with executing script in webpage is interesting. Best of luck!


Yea would love to try out the extension! ITs always interesting to see everyone's design approach.

I really don't want to install an app on to my laptop, especially an MITM, so I think extension would be better.


cool . can you give me the link of the tool
