Nanobrowser
Open-source Chrome extension agent that automates web tasks in your own browser.
Browser Harness
Agent skill from the Browser Use team that lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive your own logged-in Chrome to click, type, read pages and download files.
RobotGo
Go library for cross-platform desktop automation and AI computer use that controls mouse, keyboard, screen, windows and processes.
Handsy
Lets an AI model use a real iPhone through a $7 ESP32 board that acts as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, tapping and typing through apps with no jailbreak and no computer attached.
axuse
axuse gives AI agents browser and computer use through a single MCP server that plugs into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other MCP hosts. Instead of a screenshot loop it reads the DOM, the accessibility tree and Chrome DevTools, which makes actions faster and uses far fewer tokens, and it has zero dependencies, with desktop control on Windows, macOS (opt-in) and Linux.
HARPA AI
Chrome extension browser agent that combines models like GPT, Claude and Gemini to automate web tasks, searching, writing and summarizing.
