Polishing my website (https://dvsj.in) and building a PRM for myself (CRM, but personal). I have a _very_ bad memory unfortunately!

[Request for help]

I'm also building a Mac app that helps automate frequent actions. Eg: 1. Open a URL in a browser, switch to tab if it exists already 2. Open a bunch of apps (VSCode project, Slack, Github on web) 3. Copy last error stack trace from Chrome 4. Open VSCode, switch to the terminal where Claude Code is opened

1, 2 are trivial with AppleScript.

How would you approach 3, 4? A browser extension and a VSCode extension that communicates with the Mac app might work, but wouldn't scale for more apps (and is a maintenance nightmare)

I may not be understanding the the context of #3 (Javascript console, page contents showing traceback?), but I'd be looking at MCP servers for Playwright or https://github.com/VibiumDev/vibium or that browser automation MCP that I think Google announced a month or so for Chrome and the name of which escapes me.

    Thank you, will check it out! :D

    I'm building a voice assistant that does things for me (basically computer use with extra steps). Ideally no LLM involved for execution.

    I'm trying to start with common commands: "open HN" "open Claude" "Copy paste errors into IDE claude (which copies trace from Chrome and pastes it into the integrated IDE terminal)"
