Hi @Gecko51 - is there any way that I could embed your AI Agent into my project, still giving you full credit tho? We are looking for an AI agent, and can't find any open source ones until I came across this discussion & your repository. |

Hi Gecko51, this is a really impressive project. I went through the repo, and the way you’ve structured the interaction between the agent and browser actions is particularly interesting. Turning the Chrome side panel into an execution layer instead of just a UI is a smart design choice. The use cases you’re targeting especially things like multi-step navigation, form handling, and data extraction are exactly where this kind of agent can provide real value beyond simple chat interfaces. One thing I’m curious about: how are you handling reliability across different websites, especially with dynamic DOM changes or unexpected states during those multi-step iterations? It seems like that would be one of the harder problems to solve at scale. Overall, this looks like a strong foundation for a very practical automation tool definitely something I’d like to follow as it evolves. |

Introduce yourself
I'm Guillaume, a solopreneur based in France. After 21 years in the French Army, I made a hard pivot into tech, taught myself to code, fell deep into the AI/automation rabbit hole, and never looked back.
I just open-sourced a project:
Gecko Agent a Chrome extension that turns your browser's side panel into an AI-powered automation assistant.
What it does:
You chat with an AI agent and it can actually do things in your browser : read pages, click buttons, fill forms, extract data, navigate across tabs. It runs in a think → act → observe loop, up to 40 iterations, until the job's done.
Where are you in your GitHub journey?
Learning the basics
And where are you going next on GitHub?
Growing my first open-source project Gecko Agent an AI-powered Chrome extension for browser automation. Looking for early feedback and contributors.
What technical skills or projects are you working on?
Building Gecko Agent with React 19, TypeScript and the Chrome Extensions API (Manifest V3).
I'm also deep into AI agent design my extension runs an autonomous think → act → observe loop to automate browser tasks like data extraction and form filling.
