Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Was thinking about this device since I heard about it and it was not making sense in many ways.

- How will it work with captchas? What if app owners will not like you hiding their UI?

- Where does Browser automation runs? If on server then its not as secure and private as they claim.

- What happens when site UI updates? how long does it take for the to update? What about custom flow people build?

You touched a little bit on last question that you expect UIs not to update much. And that is the case for many stable apps. But there are also apps that change UI couple of times a year. Now if I add dozens of such apps I will experience problems monthly.

I actually had some automation done for ChatGPT UI :D Well that one was breaking weekly :D

Another question everyone has on their mind is why hardware device?

There is startup backed by Sam Altman that was in the news https://www.induced.ai/

They built a custom browser for similar purpose.

Just last week learned about these guys

They are building a chrome extension with use case very similar to Rabbit. Only issue is that it is chrome extension. Meaning it runs on desktop.

But it should not be too much trouble to release a browser wrapper for mobile that does the same there.

What do you think about those?

And thanks again for sharing insights like Robotic Process Automation, did not hear about it before.
