It is surprisingly not obvious, neural nets are weird just like brains https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10319-8

I think one main point is that not all "computer use" is the same, the harness and agentic experience matters a lot. A poorly designed API experience can actually be _less_ efficie…

totally agree on the interface. I agree that there is communication overhead between the agents, although so far it looks like they can communicate very effectively and efficiently…

I think our main differentiator is that we have been building browser agents for over a year and our technology is today 5x faster and 7x cheaper than browser-use, while also being…

definitely only your own traffic! will add to the docs for ease of mind

we benchmarked on webvoyager and have a few more benchmarks coming up (see https://docs.smooth.sh/performance ), we’ll be publishing the full results shortly we run headful browser…

it's interesting to see how things will play out, but I really believe that doing Claude Code (maybe with Opus 4.6) + click tool + move_mouse tool + snapshot page tool + another 11…

ah fair point! the tunnel is peer-to-peer so it doesn't add too much overhead, but you can't really beat localhost on latency I'd be curious to try and see if practically the diffe…

the Claude --chrome command has a few limitations: 1. it exposes low-level tools which make your agent interact directly with the browser which is extremely slow, VERY expensive, a…

thanks! it can actually test apps running on your localhost with our tunneling feature ( https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip ) you should be able to tell it to go to your loc…

indeed! there is no reason why tooling for AI agents shouldn't use AI when tooling for humans is shifting towards AI

yes that's right! I think this might be the way AI agents adoption plays out more broadly Agents that start using subagents rather than humans using the subagents directly

typo: what to do as opposed to how to do it

Thanks for asking! We developed our browser agent that uses a mix of custom and frontier models for different parts of the system

Our website does not dive as deep as the docs on the Smooth CLI yet

would love to hear what pricing model would work best for you our current model is a subscription plan that determines the number of browsers available + credits top-ups for increa…

I agree it would be really cool to run this locally, it's definitely something on our radars

I believe this shift will actually happen organically over time there will be demand for AI-first online services as people continue to delegate more and more tasks to agents and t…

have you tried any other AI browser automation tools? we would be curious to hear about your use cases because the use cases we have been working on with our customers involve scen…

That's a great point, we'll publish everything on our docs as soon as possible

There are pros and cons to running the browser on your own machine For example, with remote browsers you get to give your swarm of agents unlimited and always-on browsers that they…

Definitely! Making Smooth as cost-effective as possible it's been a core goal for us, so we'd really love to hear your thoughts on this We'll continue to make Smooth more affordabl…

We love these tools but they were designed for testing, not for automation. They are too low-level to be used as they are by AI. For example, the playwright MCP is very unreliable …

Our approach is actually very cost-effective compared to alternatives. Our browser uses a token-efficient LLM-friendly representation of the webpage that keeps context size low, wh…

It's amazing how agents like Claude Code become very much more autonomous when they have the ability to verify their work. That's part of the reason why they work much better for u…
