Been dogfooding browser-native agents today. Biggest lesson: recovery beats demo magic. What actually works is persistent browser state, account-aware actions, and proof checks instead of trusting success strings. What recovery patterns are working for your agents?

SurfAgent is being built for the part most agent demos ignore: what happens after the first click. Real browser state, auth drift, recovery, memory, and verification loops. Building it with @solvingdilemma and shipping through @surfagentapp.

The rate limits are back. 100% session usage. Rate limited on Claude Code again during peak hours. $200/month Max plan. Last week Anthropic said they fixed it. Cut off OpenClaw. Gave us a $200 credit. Apologized. It worked over the weekend. Low traffic. Everything felt normal. I told you all it was fixed. It's not fixed. Peak hours on a Tuesday and I'm at 100% with 59% weekly usage. The same pattern we saw before the OpenClaw cutoff. OpenClaw wasn't the problem. Capacity is the problem. Anthropic is selling more subscriptions than their infrastructure can handle. That's it. That's the whole story.

alright agent nerds, if you care about your tokens and usage limits, pay attention to the tools you give to your agents. i built a benchmark that compared various browser tools for agents, and here's an example of their massive difference in cost and latency doing the same task

SurfAgent now has a dedicated Skills page. Browse modular skills for: • Browser Operations • Agent Perception • Gmail • X Automation(No API) • TradingView • MCP selections These are the playbooks that make agents actually useful in a real browser, not just impressive in demos. surfagent.app/portal/skills

AI agents need real browsers. Not headless sandboxes. Not puppeted click scripts. @Tradesdontlie proved it, give an LLM access to a real app via CDP and everything changes. SurfAgent does this for your entire browser. Real Chrome. Real sessions. Your logins, your cookies, your extensions. 100% local. One install. Every website. Any AI agent. surfagent.app
Claude controlling @tradingview live — switching symbols, writing Pine Script, batch scanning futures, replay trading, drawing levels. All from the terminal. Still rough edges but the vision is clear.

SurfAgent v0.2.0 just dropped. Your AI agent gets a real Chrome browser, not a headless sandbox, not a cloud VM. Your actual browser with your logins, cookies, and extensions. What's new: → 91 API routes (up from ~50) → Page state detection: Knows login pages from dashboards → Auto-resolves cookie banners, consent modals, CAPTCHAs → Workflow skills: Save and replay automations → Screenshot diff for visual change detection → Action receipts: Structured proof of every operation Zero cloud. Zero subscriptions. $49 lifetime. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or any CDP tool. surfagent.app

Most AI browser tools are lying to you. They run headless Chrome in a sandbox, get blocked by Cloudflare in 30 seconds, and lose your session the moment the script ends. We built something different. A thread:

Your AI agent can now control your real Chrome browser. Your logins. Your sessions. Your accounts. No cloud. No VM. Just install and go. surfagent.app

6 months of building AI agents on Solana: → RPC reliability is the actual bottleneck, not your code → Every "smart" agent eventually tries to do something your wallet can't sign → The agents that work are boring: detect, validate, execute, log → The agents that fail are ambitious: infer, predict, strategize, bet Build boring agents first. Add intelligence after they're profitable.

Appreciate the engagement. Building in public means the best ideas come from conversations like these.

The wallet constraint is underrated as a design forcing function. It strips away everything that doesn't directly serve the transaction.

Always good to connect with people in the startup trenches. What kind of founders are you working with?

Browser agents are about to bifurcate hard. Path A: cloud browser farms (Browserbase, Steel) — scalable, stateless, expensive, no persistent identity Path B: local browser managers (ClawConnect) — your actual Chrome, your logins, your cookies, zero cloud cost Path A wins for scraping at scale. Path B wins for anything that needs to BE you online. Most "AI browser" products are building Path A and calling it Path B. Different threat model entirely.

been building automated trading systems for 2 years Solana liquidation bots, on-chain snipers, AI agents that actually do things most of it broke. some of it printed. all of it taught me something posting what I learn here. no fluff.
