Description
The goal was to bring down the cost at the context eng. level. We do it with Layout Memoization.Instead of dumping HTML into the context window, we have built a continual learning browser harness (read only for now).We have built an early prototype for you to try out, where you can:1. Spins up a browser instance 2. Extract any structured or tabular data from anywhere on the open-web 3. And you can do all this at the cost of a vector searchWould love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Could you build this?
No Building an autonomous crawler and browser harness that does DOM layout memoization and continual structural learning to scrape dynamic sites at high scale requires deep infra and web runtime engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires headless Chromium clusters (Playwright/Puppeteer/CDP), an algorithmic layout engine that computes DOM diffs and structural fingerprinting vectors, and residential proxy rotation networks. The most difficult challenge is robust layout memoization that can reliably detect structural semantic changes without re-querying an LLM or breaking on dynamic single-page apps. It requires distributed web scraping infrastructure, browser engine internals, and specialized context engineering expertise.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
