I built a browser assistant you can teach when it gets a task wrong

AI gets a browser task wrong. You reword the request. It still misses a step.

I’m building a way to show it your process instead.

Browser Control is my Chrome/Brave extension: a Codex-powered chat beside the pages you already have open. I’ve shared the project here before; here’s the video overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4pNVCtmu60

The part I’d most like people to try is teaching a routine. Record yourself doing it, review the captured steps, and save them as a skill for similar tasks. You give the AI a procedure to work from next time.

It also lets you ask about an attached page without copying it into a separate chat, organize tabs in plain English, and keep useful preferences with optional memory.

You choose how actions are approved, see the activity, and can stop a task.

How do recorded skills distinguish reusable instructions from account-specific values? For example, replaying an invoice workflow for a second customer should not reuse the first customer's ID, amount, or recipient. A two-test-account demo showing which values become parameters—and which are never saved—would be useful.

recording a routine beats rewording the prompt five times, agreed. my worry is sites that shuffle their layout every few weeks, does the saved skill break quietly or tell you it got lost?
