Task automation

The core of Browserfly is to allow AI to automatically manipulate web pages based on user commands. Here's how it works:

1. Open the plug-in::
   • Click the Browserfly icon in the upper right corner of your browser to bring up the action panel.
   • The panel contains input boxes and function options.
2. input::
   • Describe the task in natural language in the input box, e.g. "Search for the latest tech news and summarize the key points" or "Fill out this form".
   • Instructions are as clear as possible, and the AI will parse and execute them.
3. operate::
   • Click on the "Run" button to start the AI operation.

4. Adjustments and feedback::
   • If the result is not satisfactory, you can click "Rerun" in the panel and change the command.
