I got tired of repetitive web tasks, so I built a visual, local AI automation Chrome extension

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a developer who was spending way too much time doing repetitive browser tasks like scraping content, collecting images, and summarizing long articles. It basically turned into constant copy-paste hell.

I tried tools like Zapier, Make or n8n and other automation platforms, but ran into the same issues over and over:

  • expensive or subscription-based
  • require API keys and setup
  • and they can’t really interact with what’s actually on your screen without hacks

So I ended up building something for myself:

Agentic Workflow, a Chrome extension that turns your browser into a visual automation engine.

Instead of writing scripts, you build workflows with a drag-and-drop system that can directly interact with the live DOM of any website.

A few things that make it different:

  • Runs locally, including AI You can run LLMs like Llama or Granite directly in the browser using WebGPU and WebAssembly. No API keys, no cloud, your data stays on your machine.
  • Visual builder, no code needed You connect nodes to create workflows for scraping, transforming, and summarizing data.
  • Actually interacts with websites It can click buttons, extract data, fill forms, and handle dynamic pages, not just static scraping.

Some small workflows I’ve been using:

  • Extract all images from a page and download them in one click
  • Summarize long articles into clean markdown using a local LLM
  • Pull structured data from messy pages and display it instantly

I recently released it on the Chrome Web Store and I’m trying to get feedback from people who actually use extensions like this.

Curious about a couple things:

  • What repetitive browser tasks do you wish you could automate?
  • Would you actually use local AI in a tool like this, or do you prefer APIs?
  • What would make something like this genuinely useful for you day-to-day?

Happy to answer anything or even build features if there’s real demand.
