Playwriter connects AI agents to your existing Chrome tabs through a browser extension, exposing the full Playwright API without heavy context usage. It lets you and your assistant collaborate on real pages, automate flows, and debug interactions inside your normal browsing session.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Playwriter's browser extension connects directly to your open Chrome tabs without needing to launch separate browser instances or duplicate your session
- The extension exposes Playwright's complete API to AI agents while you browse normally, letting automation happen in real-time on actual web pages you're already viewing
- AI agents can interact with live content and dynamic elements on your current tabs, making automation more accurate since they work with the same data you see
- You can troubleshoot and guide AI actions directly within your existing browsing session instead of switching between different browser windows or environments
- The lightweight approach means no heavy resource usage or complex setup - just install the extension and your AI tools can immediately access and control your active Chrome tabs
