Whats your motivation for building it? Also, does it have any downside since we are giving away browser control to it?

just obsessed with browser controlling agents. I saw a few friends fret over the job search process, maintaining excel, going through job portals every day and then filling out the same repetitive applications. so we built jobber.

we are also building an underlying framework that lets devs build custom browser controlling agents.

LLMs can take autonomous actions on your behalf and be sometimes wrong for sure. but this does not have the downside of you entering your passwords and the LLM having access to it as it controls your existing browser session where most of the websites are already logged in.
