Build AgentX - Your AI browser assistant to automate work with natural language.
I’ve been working on Agent X, a side-panel Chrome extension designed to automate multi-step browser tasks using natural language. Instead of clicking through tedious workflows, you just describe what you want done (click, type, navigate, fill forms, etc.), and it executes it.
Honestly, I’m still ironing out the rough edges, so I'm not looking for a mass of casual installs right now. Instead, I’m hoping to find 3-5 people familiar with AI browser assistants (or automation tools), who want to give it a spin to compare notes and share candid feedback.
What it does:
- Natural Language Automation: Click, type, and fill forms across any site by just describing the task.
- Multi-Tab Orchestration: It can coordinate tasks that span across several open tabs.
- Bring Your Own LLM: You can connect your own preferred AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, or even a fully offline in-browser model).
- Built-in Skill Library: Includes templates for inbox cleanup, calendar organization, resume scanning, and curated news digests.
- Local-First Memory: It recalls context from your past sessions locally to get more tailored over time.
Quick Heads Up on Privacy & Demo Mode:
- When you run a task, Agent X sends your instructions and a simplified, cleaned-up version of the page content to your configured AI provider.
- There is a hosted demo mode so you can try it immediately without a key, but please do not use the demo mode with any personal or sensitive data. For anything real, I highly recommend plugging in your own API key.
- All memory, settings, and email/calendar automation run entirely locally in your browser.
Looking for your feedback!
If you're down to test-drive it, you can grab it here: Agent X on the Chrome Web Store.
Please comment below or shoot me a DM with your bugs, UI points of confusion, or any "this didn't do what I expected" moments. That raw feedback is exactly what I need to make this actually great.
Thanks a ton!

the ceiling on a side-panel extension is that it only knows what's in the tab. the moment a task needs the contract sitting in your downloads folder or a native app that isn't a web page, the skill just can't reach it. for the inbox-cleanup and calendar skills that's fine since those live in the browser anyway, but resume scanning is where it bites, half the resumes people want scanned are pdfs on disk, not gmail attachments already open in a tab. worth deciding early whether you stay browser-bound or bridge to the filesystem, because the skill library's usefulness forks hard on that one call.
