It was using claude-code and tried both Sonnet and Opus, both works. I just created and uploaded the video BTW

Let's find out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6yCzgaRoAc Apparently browsentic can :)

Show HN: Browsentic Open-source Claude for Chrome alternative for any agent CLI

imshaikot — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 13:08:05 +0000

A personal agent harness lives in your existing browser, connects to your claude-code (or any other major harness codex or cursor-cli...) NOT the SDK API, exposes web-optimized tools to the harness - that's Browsentic.

A free, opensource (Apache 2.0) with rich capabilities alternative to Comet, BrowserOS, Browser-use, Claude for Chrome or nanobrowser.

The unique architecture of Browsentic makes it different from all other alternatives. It uses a loopback MCP server that spawns claude/codex/OpenCode/Cursor harness in a detached process. You can already guess, it is a bi-directional MCP, you can browse agentic through the browser harness or through any MCP client.

Browsentic doesn't require any new browser to install and not limited to chromium, it supports Firefox as well. By default you don't even need CDP to perform core agentic browsing.

Capabilities: core accessibilities (50+ compare to nanobrowser only had 20), custom skill, record-replay, schedule-monitoring-notification, resolves captcha autonomously, has it's own memory, voice orb over web-speech API, can sideload custom tools, platform + browser + agent agnostic

It is opensource, no API key, no telemetry & local first and actively maintained and yesterday was the first public stable launch (v0.8.0)

Currently I'm the only author but every & any contribution or suggestion will be more than welcome :)

Whatever it is - I'm not gonna use AGY again. I'd rather use claude-code-router instead, to give gemini-4 a shot.

Ask HN: How Jev in production for generative UI working out, anyone tried ?

Show HN: An agent-skill to generate preview, AppStore screenshots and campaigns

imshaikot — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 11:47:51 +0000

If you are developing apps and paying 3rd party services just to generate promotional visuals or app store screenshots - stop doing it

I created an agent-skill which can do it for you with 3D device models (assets are CC-BY licensed) social cards/cover, app/play store screenshots, campaign 3d animating videos.

Followings are few themes you can generate

Themes Total App Store/Play Store 10 Social Card 7 Screen Video 7 Device Video 9 Device Mockup 7 Behind the agent, it is using ThreeJS, headless Chromium, ffmpeg and nodejs to incorporate your precious contents.

Agent Install Claude Code (plugin) claude plugin marketplace add imshaikot/app-preview-craft-skill``claude plugin install app-preview-craft@app-preview-craft Claude Code (skill folder) git clone --depth 1 -b skill https://github.com/imshaikot/app-preview-craft-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/app-preview-craft Codex · Cursor · GitHub Copilot · Gemini CLI · OpenCode · Amp · Goose git clone --depth 1 -b skill https://github.com/imshaikot/app-preview-craft-skill.git ~/.agents/skills/app-preview-craft

already accepted by Anthropic community-plugin but not listed just yet

Prerequisite: Node.js (runs UI studio, edits screenshots, spawns other services), ffmpeg (video encoding) and Chromium (headless browser to render)

I have been using it myself but this is an initial version, improvements will follow.

Can you use real Apple Wallet and ApplyPay (web) in the virtual device ? I've been struggling apple-pay test automation and simulators can't do the real apple-pay integration.

I built an agent-skill that turns your texts into diagrams and BI-visuals
