I’m open-sourcing Opensteer -- a lightweight CLI runtime that lets AI agents control your real browser, inspect network requests, and turn browser workflows and reverse engineered APIs into reusable agent tools.

The idea is that an agent can use Opensteer to drive your local Chrome through DOM automation, observe how a site loads data, and then write repeatable scripts or functions for the parts that should be deterministic. Those functions live in your project directory, so future agents running from that directory can call them like tools.

It runs locally, connects to your actual browser session, and is meant for workflows where plain HTTP scraping is not enough: logged-in pages, JS-heavy apps, visual debugging, API discovery, and repeatable browser automation.

Feel free to try it out, and would appreciate any feedback.

I’m building a cloud agent platform (opensteer.com) that can automate tasks across websites and services. The basic idea is - we give you a sandbox, and each directory represents a specialized agent. You can customize that directory with instructions, state, scripts, and custom tools that the agent can call only when running from that directory.

We also have native cloud browsers that can retain logins and perform tasks on websites directly. For services that support it, the agent can use native APIs, MCPs, and CLIs instead.

You can use your Codex subscription with it, and we’re working on letting your local coding agent control cloud agents too.

This demo is a sales automation agent. I ask it to find warm VP Eng leads, dedupe against CRM/state, research the account, draft outreach, update Salesforce/Notion, and schedule a follow-up. It also connects to my Google Calendar and Gmail through the Google CLI, so it’s basically my CRM agent.

Try it out for free and would love any feedback. Thanks!
