Let’s go! Meha is awesome. Props to you and Art for building this out. Not an easy problem to work on. Extra respect for bootstrapping this!
Thanks! :)
How are you controlling chrome in this case?

This is Jared and Art. We met on HN and started building together.
Over the last few months we've been thinking a lot about how AI agents are going to impact the future. We want agents to be something that's actually useful for normal people as well as the 10x'ers. This lead us to building Meha over the last few months, our first swing at our vision! We saw OpenAI release Operators then we said f*k it let's post.
Meha is a desktop app that uses your Chrome browser to execute tasks in the background. It controls your installed Chrome browser and uses LLMs with playwright to plan and execute actions to accomplish your task. You get to see each planning step the bot is doing and have access to its long term memory.
Meha also uses its own file system and can export files for download. Another thing we've been focused on in multi-agent workflows and Meha can run many bots at the same time. One of the reasons why we can ship this for free in the mean time is because of how cheap the agents are. But we are planning to have a Pro version for power users. We prefer not to raise since we're against VC funding.
We have been influenced by a lot of concepts in probabilistic robotics and RL to develop a fairly robust 'agentic' framework. As well as an algorithm for efficiently converting/compressing large html pages into a semantic format. If you're interested we will open source this asap in an SDK (will work with all OpenAI API spec LLMs and with llama.cpp) let us know.
We're currently in beta and working on figuring out what this product will become and super stoked! Let us know what you think. To get access to Meha we have links on our discord to download (Both MacOS and Windows is available). Please give us all the feedback/criticism (even if you hate AI).
