# webSlinger AI

> webSlinger is a browser extension that turns recorded human web navigation into reliable, repeatable automation. It runs inside the user's real Chrome browser, supports zero-knowledge credential management and MFA, and uses real-time validation during recording to prove every selector works before the script is generated.

webSlinger is positioned as a third category between traditional web scrapers (cheap per run, brittle on dynamic sites) and AI web agents (flexible but expensive on every page view). Users demonstrate a workflow once; an LLM generates a JavaScript automation script from the recording — the LLM's involvement ends at generation — and the script then runs the workflow deterministically, as cheaply as a scraper, while inheriting the reliability of a real browser session.

## What it does

- Records user interactions across three tabs (main, validation, copy) so that every selector is proven against the live page during recording.
- Generates automation scripts using a capable LLM from one or more recorded session maps.
- Extracts repeating structures (product listings, search results, tables): an information-theoretic MDL (minimum description length) algorithm — unique to webSlinger — decides which instances and which fields belong to the array, and webSlinger labels the fields semantically.
- Scrapes data straight to the clipboard with no recording, script generation, or paid plan (the free Scraper tier): activate the extension on any page, pick individual fields or whole arrays with the overlay, and the data is copied automatically.
- API Discovery: captures the JSON API calls a page makes so data can be pulled straight from the source (search results, map pins, prices) - including data that never appears as selectable text - whether to the clipboard or as a repeatable call in a generated script.
- Manages passwords and TOTP codes through the companion keyCocoon extension and a local keyBunker vault, so credentials never leave the user's machine.
- Schedules unattended runs via the taskSpinner native messaging host on Windows.
