I've had good success with the Chrome devtools MCP ( https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp ) for browser automation with Gemini CLI, so I'm guessing this model will work even better.
What sorts of automations were you able to get working with the Chrome dev tools MCP?

#33doesn't seem like it makes sense to train AI around human user interfaces which aren't really efficient. It is like building a mechanical horse.
Right, let's make APIs for everything... [Looks around and sees people not making APIs for everything] Well that didn't work.

In my country there's a multi-airline API for booking plane tickets, but the cheapest of economy carriers only accept bookings directly on their websites. If you want to make something that can book every airline? Better be able to navigate a website.

#37I feel like screenshots should be the last thing you reach for. There's a whole universe of data from accessibility subsystems.

#38If such AI tools allow to automate this soulcrushing drudgery, it will be great. I know that you can technically script things Selenium, AutoHotkey whatnot. But you can imagine that it's a nonstarter in a regular office. This kind of tool could make things like that much more efficient. And it's not like it will then obviate the jobs entirely (at least not right away). These offices often have immense backlogs and are understaffed as is.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know there was a memo telling Googlers they are expected to use AI at work and it’s expected for their performance to increase as a result.
The HBO's Silicon Valley ended way too soon. The plot pretty much writes itself.
On a serious note, What the fuck is happening in the world.

#40I sure hope this is better than pathetically useless. I assume it is to replace the extremely frustrating Gemini for Android. If I have a bluetooth headset and I try "play music on Spotify" it fails about half the time. Even with youtube music. I could not believe it was so bad so I just sat at my desk with the helmet on and tried it over and over. It seems to recognise the speech but simply fails to do anything. Bra…
Reminds me of an anecdote where Amazon invested howevermany personlives in building AI for Alexa, only to discover that alarms, music, and weather make up the large majority of things people actually use smart speakers for. They're making these things worse at their main jobs so they can sell the sizzle of AI to investors.
