Your Browser is Becoming Your AI Co-worker

The most boring parts of your job are suddenly the most interesting parts of AI. A new wave of tools isn't trying to write a novel; it's trying to do your expenses.

AI Agents Are Quietly Learning to Do Your Job

While we fixate on AI-generated art, tools like Dia, Perplexity Comet, Asteroid and Compuser are automating the millions of clicks that run our offices.

A new category of AI is learning to use a browser just like a person does. Tools like Asteroid and Compuser.ai watch you perform repetitive tasks—filling forms, scraping data, navigating portals—and then build an agent to do it for you. This isn't about summarising a meeting; it's about freeing up your team from the mind-numbing digital labour that kills productivity.

What's actually happening here is the democratisation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Traditional RPA is expensive, brittle, and requires engineers. These new AI agents are cheap, adaptable, and can be 'trained' by non-technical staff in minutes. The real disruption isn't coming from AI that can think, but from AI that can *do*.

This is a game-changer for any business drowning in manual processes, from logistics to finance. Of course, they are not perfect and can be tripped up by website changes. But for small teams, the trade-off is clear: a little fragility is worth it to automate the 20% of browser work that consumes 80% of their time.

My takeaway

The trend in AI right now is creativity with capability.

We're shifting from generative AI that acts as a creative partner to agentic AI that acts as a digital labourer. This move from abstract generation to concrete execution is where the real economic disruption is hiding. It targets the repetitive, rule-based digital tasks that form the invisible backbone of modern business.

This forces a fundamental question about the future of work. If the 'doing' is automated, human expertise shifts to 'directing'. Are we prepared to manage a workforce of digital agents, and what skills will matter most when the browser itself becomes a member of your team?

What one repetitive task would you give to a browser agent tomorrow?
