Curious - how does it perform with captchas and other "are you human" stuff on the web?

I added in the system prompt that it should skip CAPTCHAs and hand control back to the user. Currently working on a proper human-in-the-loop feature. That's actually one of the key advantages of running the agent inside your own browser.

Makes sense.

For curiosity's sake, have you had it try to attempt captchas?

If so, what were the results?

I haven’t. I don’t think it will work well.

I use a text-based approach. Captchas like “crossroad” usually need a screenshot, a visual model and coordinate-based mouse events.
