Idea

Give AI direct control of a real web browser via CDP so agents can write their own tools and interact with any website. Simpler and more flexible than existing automation frameworks. Useful for testing, scraping, and automating web tasks.

Why this is interesting

Browser automation via CDP is having a genuine moment — Anthropic's Computer Use release and the broader push toward agentic AI workflows have made "give an LLM a real browser" a serious engineering priority rather than a toy demo. Playwright and Puppeteer are the closest substitutes, but neither is designed around AI-native control loops where the agent writes its own interaction logic on the fly, which is the actual differentiator here. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band feels honest for a developer-tools library: adoption can be fast but monetization is slow, typically gated behind a hosted tier or enterprise support contract that takes time to build. The biggest risk is consolidation from above — Microsoft (Playwright), Browserless, or a well-funded startup like Browserbase could absorb this exact feature set within a single release cycle, leaving a solo builder with an open-source project and no moat.
