hgaddipa001··on Show HN: BrowseBrawl – What if browser agents battled to generate training data?
What results have you seen so far?
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Why wouldn't we be indexing at scale?
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Yep we're using Oauth, so it's easy for a user to disconnect.
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Fair enough makes sense to not have trust!

We like to believe we're pretty trustworthy, and do our best to make everything secure.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Thanks!

Don't worry have worked with a few friends experienced in prompt injection to help with the platform.

But will read these too :)

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
We do a lot of processing on our backend to prevent against prompt injection, but there definitely still is some risk. We can do better on as is always the case.

Need to read up on how CaMel does it. Do you have any good links?

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Hmm this is a good idea too
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Not sure we haven't ever done volume that size for one person, but in theory should be able too!

We use indexing similar to glean (but a bit less elegant without the ACLs)

Can talk more about your use case if you'd like to.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Unfortunately have an NDA with them so can't disclose (most of our providers are still in stealth)
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Hmm that's fair, we're definitely not the most exciting launch out there compared to others in our batch.

I'd like to think the fact we do what we promise is exciting, but without trying the product hard to convey that well :)

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Ohh we don't give it computer use access or anything like that. We inject tokens post tool call, so to protect users from the agent doing anything malicious.
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Why do you think privacy?

Security I understand, but if you consent to giving it access would it not be fine for privacy.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Hmm ig yeah I can be more granular.

Yeah we store our user credentials on our side and manage them. Along with refreshing tokens and so forth

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Have you tried out Slashy?

What makes you say that

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
It's useful for quality.

For example we can read and attach pdfs to gmail which not a lot of people can, since we have our own internal storage api.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
What would you like to see?

Can tell you :)

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Runs on AWS for now!
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Oh I used Screen Studio :)

Thanks for the compliment.

Not worried about browser agents, as we actually have pretty deep integrations (we include semantic search as well as user action graphs).

Naturally apis will always be better than browsers as apis are computer languages and browsers are human language.

The sale of Browser Company today too I think shows there's not that much of a ceiling for agentic browsers.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
We did a lot of internal testing but no official benchmark.

We find that the less the agent knows, the more it hallucinates

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Yep!

That's our goal long term to get better templates

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Smart
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
ooh good idea!
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
The agent does!

We don't, and agent pulls in data only when executing queries

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
It's a bit more complicated. We have a full custom single agent architecture, sort of like Manus that isn't fully compatible with MCP
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Unfortunately not able to get into their codebase
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
We use Claude/OpenAI right now with Groq for tool routing!

I'd say maybe to get comfortable try out the non email features first, but we don't have access to any of your data.

hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Hmm we've been considering a chrome extension
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Find that the quality of them currently aren't there yet for a general system. They tend to be designed just to use that singular app instead of to be used in parallel with other apps.
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
We don't use open source models as of right now!
hgaddipa001··on Launch HN: Slashy (YC S25) – AI that connects to apps and does tasks
Here's a fun launch video we made as well :)
