Ehsan's Insight
Browser agents (Anthropic's computer use, OpenAI's Operator) can navigate websites, fill forms, and extract data autonomously. The accuracy on well-structured websites: 80-90%. On complex web applications with dynamic content, modals, and non-standard UI patterns: 40-60%. The practical use cases today: web scraping at scale, competitive price monitoring, form-filling automation for data entry tasks, and QA testing. The use cases that are not ready: anything requiring judgment about website content (is this the right product? Is this review genuine?) because browser agents see pixels, not meaning.
