Vibe AI Browser Agent is pending Chrome Web Store review. Here's how to install the latest version directly — and automate any site you're already logged into using Claude, GPT, or Gemini.
OpenCode Mobile is a free, open-source Android app that lets you control your self-hosted opencode AI coding agent from anywhere. Real-time streaming, diff viewer, tool approval — all from your phone.
We forked Google's chrome-devtools-mcp to share one real Chrome across several AI agents. It crashed on memory, raced on connections, and shipped broken builds. Here is why we dropped the MCP server and rebuilt the part we needed as a small browser skill.
Claude Code is excellent. I still chose OpenCode for the coding agent at Vibe Technologies. Here are the five reasons — open-source forkability, subagent observability, remote control via opencode serve, model flexibility, and where Claude Code still wins.
Every agent at Vibe Technologies has its own Slack app, bound to a dedicated OpenClaw channel. When one Slack bot @mentions another, OpenClaw routes the message to the target agent's session. AGENTS.md in each workspace is the plain-text contract that tells each agent when to pass work and to whom.
OpenCode's web UI isn't mobile-friendly. Here's how Claude Code remote control over Tailscale became the interim solution for managing AI coding sessions from a phone.
The customer-support pipeline at Vibe Technologies: every escalation from Gmail, Chatwoot, the docs chat, and the VibeBrowser co-pilot becomes a tracked Linear issue owned by Jared Dunn (SupportEngineer), with status flowing back to the customer when Gilfoyle Bertram closes the PR.
Running OpenCode in server mode on a VM and exposing it via Tailscale turns it from a one-person CLI tool into a persistent coding service. The software-engineer agent on OpenClaw can then open sessions, supervise progress, and follow up — acting more like a staff engineer than a solo coder.
How Vibe Technologies evaluates its ten AI agents at two levels: a YAML-based deployment verification suite that runs per-PR, and a Langfuse-backed team evaluation loop where Claw reviews cross-agent traces, checks for stuck sessions, and pushes agents to complete their tasks.
A complete roster of the ten AI agents running on OpenClaw at Vibe Technologies — their names, roles, primary model, and how they divide responsibility for customer support, engineering, product, growth, legal, finance, and operations.

A practical comparison of raw CDP accessibility trees, markdown-style page summaries, Chrome DevTools MCP, Playwriter, and the serialization choices behind VibeBrowser.
One command gives cloud AI agents secure access to your local Chrome browser. Multi-agent HTTP sessions, Tailscale integration, zero configuration.
Practical token-optimization stack at Vibe Technologies for OpenCode coding agents — LST for log compression, RTK (Rust Token Killer) as a CLI proxy, Caveman mode for terse output, and orchestrator + subagent role split that keeps expensive models doing only expensive work.
Google Docs taught a simple lesson for AI browser automation: agents need a browser-reading layer built for real SaaS apps, not just raw DevTools plumbing.
A technical comparison of browser-use (91k GitHub stars) and VibeBrowser. Different architectures, different users, different trade-offs — and why the extension-native approach has structural advantages for real-world browser automation.
Why Vibe Technologies moved its OpenClaw operations agents off GPT-5.4 high reasoning and onto DeepSeek-V4-Flash with max reasoning — and what the speed and agent behavior delta looks like under real incident load.
Six months after founding, here's the current operational state — agent roster, system diagram, process matrix, model routing — and what changed from the Nov 2025 plan.
Browserbase is built for cloud-scale anonymous browsing. If you're automating your own accounts, VibeBrowser runs locally for free — and in the cloud when you need it.

We're excited to announce our partnership with Kate to build a new product that helps product companies onboard OpenClaw AI agents.
Claude for Chrome and Vibe Co-Pilot both run inside your Chrome browser. Here's what actually separates them — model choice, secrets vault, MCP, and pricing.
Your browser agent now handles full Google Workspace workflows, reads any page more reliably, and works with more AI models — here's what that means for you.
How Vibe Technologies deploys self-hosted Chatwoot integrated with an AI chatbot for openclaw.vibebrowser.app — the deploy script, the architecture, how the AI bot handles tier-1 chat, and how unresolved conversations escalate to our SupportEngineer agent (Jared Dunn).
Builders are comparing browser MCPs on token cost, speed, and auth reliability. This post cuts through theory: accessibility trees vs markdown, fresh contexts vs real sessions, and why it matters for authenticated workflows.
How we validate Chrome extension microphone initialization and listening-state transitions with manifest permission auditing, explicit FAIL vs SKIP semantics, and a virtual microphone in CI.
How we built a RAG support chat for docs.vibebrowser.app on Azure AI Foundry — markdown knowledge base ingestion, Azure AI Search, GPT-4 grounded responses, and an escalation path that hands unresolved questions to our SupportEngineer agent (Jared Dunn, DeepSeek-V4-Flash) for email follow-up via Gmail.
A practical engineering walkthrough of our MCP/CLI architecture: extension-first routing, relay-owned Chrome DevTools fallback, explicit --devtools mode, and upload/snapshot compatibility.
A practical, engineer-written playbook for running OpenClawBot team profiles across SupportEngineer, GrowthManager, SoftwareEngineer, DevOpsEngineer, MarketingManager, and FinManager.
Running opencode in serve mode across 10+ repos daily. We kept hitting the same UX gaps and reliability bugs. At some point we stopped filing issues and started shipping patches.
xAI's Grok-4.1 Fast is now available in Vibe Browser for Pro and Max tier users. Here's why it outperforms every other model we've tested for agentic browsing — including GPT-5.4.
Quick-start commands for giving OpenClaw browser access with vibebrowser-cli for local signed-in workflows or @vibebrowser/chrome-devtools-mcp for cloud and multi-agent sessions.
A technical look at how OpenClaw manages browsers through its browser CLI and browser tool as of March 25, 2026, plus why VibeBrowser Co-Pilot remains a stronger local-browser control plane for agents.
A comprehensive guide to accessibility-tree snapshots vs markdown snapshots for AI browser automation: architecture, caching, reliability, token economics, and go-to-market positioning.

A deep dive into fixing opencode for production use as a long-running coding agent: MCP memory leaks, tool deadlocks, session recovery, and why Vibe Browser's extension architecture avoids the chrome-devtools-mcp memory trap entirely.
Recent work in our team's custom Codex fork made the local coding stack more flexible with first-class GitHub Copilot login, safer Ollama model discovery, and an experimental reflection loop that can retry incomplete work.
Vibe now supports GPT-5.4 for higher-confidence browser work and adds Kimi-K2.5 to the free tier for fast, tool-heavy agentic workflows.
This week Vibe added Ollama self-hosted LLM support, standalone markdown/a11y/HTML snapshot tools, stronger multi-tab reliability, and better handling for tricky UI controls.
VibeBrowser now remembers what you tell it — across sessions, across tasks. Inspired by OpenClaw's dual memory architecture, we built persistent agent memory that works inside a browser extension.

Vibe shipped accessibility-tree extraction, the composite `take_snapshot` tool, stable page refs, GPT-5.3 Codex, and stronger cache/test coverage so agents can target pages more reliably.
In Q1 2026, frontier models have achieved human-like conversation, but their performance as autonomous web agents still varies dramatically. We evaluated leading systems using three gold-standard benchmarks.
AI coding agents routinely stop before their work is done. Reflection is a plugin that injects structured self-assessment and verification loops after every agent turn, transforming unreliable sessions into bounded, verifiable workflows.
VibeBrowser ships a focused reliability sprint: quota retry logic, MCP relay stability, webhook health alerts, and Azure Key Vault secret syncing.
