CopyCat looks great, we're building a similar alternative at Meha (also free and no sign up). https://meha.ai -> just download and start generating bots. Meha works similarly to CopyCat/Operator and controls your Chrome locally (+ is also free). How are you guys dealing with the operator launch in terms of product/strategy?

Can you please share more about Meha? Which models are you using? Is this just a wrapper of browser-use.com and Playwright?

What is your monetization strategy?

which model do you use locally?

Has anyone used this? The site doesn’t provide any screenshots, or much of anything.

Edit: Whoops, I didn’t notice I was only on the download page.

The link is not to the homepage. It goes to the download page. I see from other posts that this has led to some confusion.

Here's the link to the homepage: https://www.runcopycat.com/

I’m not intending to make a typical HN-type snipe, but I’m wondering why (it seems) so many new tools/programs are being released for Mac only at the moment, especially in the ~AI space?

For example, is it:

- there are specific reasons why developing AI-related tools for Mac is just easier/faster?

- a rational business decision based on the demographics of likely users?

- a reflection of most development taking place amongst people who are predominantly Mac users?

- something else?

Cheap large GPU memory on Mac. Nvidia is an order of magnitude more expensive

Looks pretty cool! How are you guys trying to differentiate from other all-purpose browser agents right now?

How is it free?
vednig · a year ago
I guess it doesn't require VM's on cloud instead does similar work on the PC it self, by creating a sandbox henceforth much cheaper and secure alternative to Operator

Temporarily free, we'll probably do a freemium model.

What is the actual technology being used here? Which LLM/VLM? Playwright? What do you store? What do you not?

Tell me actual details.
