Tap

AI browser automation runtime. Programs beat prompts — deterministic replay at zero AI cost.

# Tap — Browser Automation Runtime Tap compiles natural language instructions into deterministic JavaScript programs. The AI runs once to generate the program; after that it replays instantly at zero cost. ## What You Can Do - **Extract data** from any website — scrape pages, pull structured content, monitor for changes. - **Automate workflows** — post to social media, fill forms, chain multi-step browser tasks like Unix pipes. - **Run anywhere** — as a Chrome extension (with your real login sessions), headless via Playwright, or on macOS desktop apps. - **Connect to AI agents** — MCP-native, works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible tool. ## Key Features - **Compile Once, Run Forever** — AI generates a .tap.js program once; replay is instant and free. - **140+ Pre-built Automations** — Community-contributed programs covering 68+ websites. - **3 Runtimes** — Chrome extension, Playwright (headless/server), macOS (desktop apps). - **Local-only** — Your data, sessions, and credentials never leave your machine. - **Self-healing** — Built-in diagnostics and AI-powered repair for broken automations. ## Getting Started ```bash # Quick start npx -y @taprun/cli --version # Or install permanently (macOS/Linux) curl -fsSL https://taprun.dev/install.sh | sh ``` Install the Chrome Extension to automate sites that require login.
