Its a great idea, I'm cautious to install this because I don't know how to monetize this for the long haul. I'd love to hear your thoughts on local models vs something hosted for this.
I'm a big fan of local myself, but unfortunately the local models aren't there yet. Even of the closed-source models, many surprisingly struggle with relatively simple requests in this domain.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot more iterations of tool + prompt + agent flow updates we can and will do to make things even better, and the models will keep getting better themselves, but the task is non-trivial. If you download the raw HTML of a webpage, it's a messy jungle, and frankly impressive that the models are capable of doing anything useful with it
Especially with the permissions you necessarily grant to this extension! The easiest way to monetize this is to sell it to somebody who will exfiltrate all your banking data with an invisible auto-update.
Totally hear you on the permissions/access. I'd love to request fewer permissions, but the chrome store doesn't support that kind of permissions granting.
In order for us to be able to execute your scripts that do powerful things (send notifications, save to local storage, download things, etc.), our extension needs to have those permissions itself. Google doesn't have any way for us to say our extension itself only requires permissions x, y, z but give this user script permissions j, k, l.
Your browsing/page data is yours. That data is only accessed when you explicitly request to generate a script (i.e. can't generate a script to modify a page without seeing that page).
