“nxtscape” gives the good old "SCSI" vibes. People just nailed “GPT”. Please consider something you can say in one breath. Great product though.
Haha thanks. Based on today's feedback, I guess we need to spend little more time on our naming and branding. will think about it :)
My usecase is to extract CSV or other data files from websites pertaining to water. For example here is the historical reservoir level data in South Australia[1]. Extracting the data was a big pain (at least for me with minimal front end experience). If downloading this can be automated with agents, I'm definitely giving it a shot.

Sounds like a pretty clear case of trademark infringement. Nxtscape is very confusingly similar to Netscape.
Web browsers as applications are made completely useless by the AI wave and I fully expect only the webview portion to survive long run.
Microsoft, Apple, and Google are best positioned to capitalize on this. Meta is further behind but has decent glasses.
The pendulum is on its way back to native.
Why not something like https://github.com/nanobrowser/nanobrowser . Its kinda built really well without exposing webdriver etc and can comfortably run js and communicate with LLMs.Has full agentic capabilites. Why a new browser instead of a robust extension?

Bravo, to whom ever came up with the name.
I asked it to find the best price for a new Seagate Exos 24TB drive on Amazon (GPT-4o):
> The best price found for a new Seagate EXOS 24TB enterprise hard drive on Amazon is $274.99 (model ST24000NM000C). This is a renewed/refurbished unit with 4.1/5 stars from 39 reviews. Note: The search results show mostly renewed units, and new units may be available at different prices on individual product pages.
Ok, fair, you couldn't find a new one on Amazon. I would have prefered a "Couldn't find one" instead of leading with the price and only in the second sentence mentioning it's a refurb. Note, this is mostly an LLM failing, not Nxtscape, that part seemed to work well overall.
I then followed up with "I only want a new drive, please look at other popular electronic retailers". It replied with (formatted slightly):
> Best Buy - WD Blue 2TB Internal Hard Drive ($59.99, on sale from $70)
> Newegg - Desktop Internal Hard Drives (500GB up to 8TB available) - Price range: $180-$299 - 4.5 store rating - Features: 30-day returns, 5-9 day delivery
> Amazon - Seagate EXOS Enterprise Hard Drives (up to 24TB)
> Additional options include SSDs from Newegg ($60-$201) if you're interested in faster storage solutions.
As almost always with LLMs, I see where it went off the beaten path. I didn't specify "a new one with the same specs I originally asked for", I shouldn't have to. This is probably mostly on the LLM, I don't know if Nxtscape could improve that with prompting (I don't know exactly what they are sending to judge either way). Also it got lazy with the Amazon response (no price).
One way that Nxtscape might be able to improve is to parse out what the user is asking for, creating a data structure to define a "result" (in my case: url, name, price, description?), use that to prompt the LLM to conform to that shape, then take the results and pass them all through a one-off LLM instance to summarize the data. I think that would help with the inconsistencies in the results. Then again, that's very "Data extraction"/"data lookup"-focused and I haven't even played with using it for input: Fill out this form, loop this process for input (mail merge), etc.
Really cool idea and I'll try throwing some other problems at it as I think of them, but mostly for fun/research, this doesn't seem like force-multiplier for my normal workflows (yet).
I’m using Dia a lot for work at the moment and frankly it’s a gamechanger. granted I’m not a developer but being able to interact with an LLM that has access to the page I’m on is extremely useful: Instead of manually hunting across half a dozen different elements, then copy/paste and retype to put something into a format I want… I can just get Dia do it. In fact, I can create a shortcut to get it to do it the same w…

Why a new browser extension for Chrome instead of an MCP operating Chrome over Chrome DevTools Protocol? https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/ Not vouching for this project, but just an example of the category existing: https://github.com/AgentDeskAI/browser-tools-mcp
