In simple English
This tool automates tasks inside your web browser and on your computer. You can record your clicks, write small scripts, or let an AI assistant do the work for you. It reads text from images and finds buttons visually when standard web code fails. You can install it directly from your browser store without building anything. It costs nothing for personal and commercial use.
