Browser Automation

dassi is a full browser automation agent. It can interact with web pages the same way you do — reading content, clicking elements, filling forms, and navigating between pages.

What dassi can automate

Page reading

dassi can read and understand any web page:

• Full page content — reads text, headings, links, and structure
• Interactive elements — identifies buttons, inputs, dropdowns, and other controls
• Screenshots — takes visual snapshots to verify its work and understand complex layouts

Navigation

• Open URLs — navigate to any website
• Go back/forward — move through browser history
• Open new tabs — dassi can open multiple tabs and switch between them
• Close tabs — clean up when done

All tabs dassi opens are grouped into a Chrome tab group, keeping your workspace organized.

Clicking and interaction

• Click buttons and links — dassi identifies elements by their role, text, and position
• Hover — trigger dropdown menus and tooltips
• Right-click — access context menus
• Double-click — for text selection and other double-click actions
• Drag and drop — move elements between positions
• Scroll — navigate long pages in any direction

Form filling

• Text inputs — type into any text field
• Dropdowns — select options from dropdown menus
• Checkboxes and toggles — check or uncheck
• File uploads — attach files to upload fields
• Complex forms — handle multi-step forms across pages

Keyboard actions

dassi can press keyboard shortcuts just like you:

• Single keys: Enter, Tab, Escape, Backspace
• Shortcuts: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Cmd+Z
• Navigation: arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down

JavaScript execution

For advanced tasks, dassi can run JavaScript in the page to:

• Read data that isn’t visible in the HTML
• Interact with complex web applications
• Create interactive dashboards and visualizations
• Inject custom tools directly into the page

Screenshots

dassi takes screenshots throughout its work to:

• Understand visual layouts
• Verify actions completed correctly
• Navigate coordinate-based interfaces
• Show you what it sees

Multi-tab workflows

dassi can work across multiple tabs simultaneously. For example:

Open Amazon, eBay, and Best Buy in separate tabs.
Search for "Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones" on each site
and create a price comparison table.

All tabs stay within the same Chrome tab group, and dassi can switch between them as needed.

Plan approval

Before visiting new domains or taking actions on sensitive pages, dassi presents a plan showing:

• Which websites it will visit
• What steps it will take

You must approve the plan before dassi proceeds. This gives you full control over what dassi does.

Limitations

dassi cannot automate certain pages:

• Chrome internal pages — chrome://settings, chrome://extensions, and similar built-in Chrome pages cannot be automated
• Other extensions — dassi cannot interact with other Chrome extension popups or pages
• CAPTCHAs — dassi respects bot detection systems and will not attempt to bypass them
• Banking credentials — dassi will never enter passwords, credit card numbers, or banking details on your behalf
