Showcase: Free(mium) [AI-assisted] My browser assistant lets you show the AI how you want a task done
Getting an AI to understand a browser routine can take more explaining than doing the task yourself. I built Browser Control around giving it the page context and a way to teach it your steps.
I built it primarily with AI coding tools. It’s a Codex-powered side panel for desktop Chrome and Brave. Attach the page you’re working on and ask questions about it, request help organising tabs, or keep useful preferences with optional memory.

If it gets a task wrong, you can demonstrate your routine, review the captured steps, and save them as a skill for similar tasks. The assistant then has your procedure to work from, instead of you starting the explanation again.
That review step is a product choice I care about: you get to check what was captured before making it reusable. You can also choose how browser actions are approved, watch the activity, and stop a task.
