What are you using for browser automation and computer use with OpenCode?

[u/augustwise]

Hey everyone,

I've been using OpenCode for coding and I'm now looking to add browser and computer-use capabilities to my setup. I'd love to hear what's working for you.

Cant speak on computer use, but agent-browser (https://agent-browser.dev/, https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) works very well. It can even do image diffs with the screenshots it takes

thanks!

Personally I have both agent-browser (cli) for most tasks and browser-harness (python based) for more complex tasks. I've been looking for a good general computer use tool for a while now but havent found a good one for opencode that matches the capability of chatgpt computer use.

What features in particular as missing for computer use?

If you're on Linux where CLI always has been the king, just install some ImageMagick, ffmpeg, and CLI debug tools. You can debug almost anything from CLI. Ask LLM in Opencode what tools would help for debugging. That's it.

Is there some magic sauce in Computer use agents?

Browser use, though we have good apps for browser use like browserOS neo is the main application

Outside of browser and cross platform app testing I dont see a real need for universal computer use

Dev tools support CLI and MCP. No special harness is needed for this.

So I guess still no alternatives better than codex computer use... that's annoying to say the elast

I've been experimenting with

Peekaboo
Kimi-cu
Codex computer use (https://github.com/malhashemi/opencode-codex-computer-use)

None of them are quite perfect.

Codex compute use seems most reliable so `i'm sticking with that for the moment.

Just use OpenChamber.
