## What it is
Taxy is an open-source Chrome browser extension that uses GPT-4 to control the browser and perform repetitive actions on the user's behalf from ad-hoc natural language instructions. It is currently a research preview that must be built and loaded locally from the repository.

## Use cases
- automate repetitive browser tasks with gpt-4
- have an ai agent fill out web forms for me
- schedule a calendar event from a text prompt
- control my browser with natural language commands
- open source browser automation agent
- let an llm click through websites for me

## When to choose
- you want an open-source LLM-driven browser agent you can hack on locally
- you are comfortable building a Chrome extension from source and debugging failed agent runs
- you want automation without page contents sent to third-party servers

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, reliable production automation tool - many workflows fail in this research preview
- you want a one-click install from the Chrome Web Store
- you need scheduled or saved workflows, which are not yet supported

- artifact type: plugin
