That was meant to be a satire dude. I just meant to say the chat isn't working :)

Show HN: Building a no-code browser automation system for OSINT

I have been working on a browser automation system for OSINT analysts. I took this up because the tools that exist today have a few problems:1. They require a little more precise notions of what needs to be done by the system (like, go here, click here, then do this, then do that etc.)2. To perform complex tasks, the few tools that exist, they need some knowledge of the system itself (like...

Nice! Most of my commit messages end up being something like "fixes and stuff, this works now!". This can be pretty helpful

Is this still up? I tried to get some ideas on creating AGI, but no AI response came through?

Incorporating LLMs into software is a software dev job from what I have experienced. You don't need to know anything other than how to design and integrate APIs. So, the real answer to your question is dependent on what companies are actually "building" something versus which are simply slapping together a bunch of things (I am not against either, if my phrasing suggested otherwise!). A lot of companies and research groups are emerging where you do need ML theory and hence ML engineers. Take for example PPFL (Privacy Preserving Federated Learning) or similar fields.

Pretty cool! Are you scraping the data first to pass it to an AI or letting it do the entire thing by itself? Also, if its the latter, are you using a multi-agent framework? Only asking because it seems way too detailed for a single input-output sequence!

Working on an automated OSINT tool. OSINT is a tough nut to crack because there is so much one can do and the web is literally infinite. So, this tool can automate browsers, it can call functions in a ReAct loop and make inferences on that. It essentially a combination of an investigator + a tool.

This is a demo for the same: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1foBa7mQOJqXcLsD4xpSen7tXMjR...

I have opensourced the tools I am using in order to get some help in refining them. Check out that project here:

Use it, scan some targets!
