Bring Your Own Agent to the Web
JnBrymn · x · 2026-07-16
The author proposes B.Y.O.A. (Bring Your Own Agent): instead of solely relying on built-in website assistants, bring your own agent into third-party web sessions. This allows users to leverage a site's existing tools and capabilities without switching contexts or handing over content directly to the third party.
They emphasize this is distinct from "downloading the platform's skills." The goal is to enable simultaneous interaction between your own agent and the web page itself—allowing the agent to see your GitHub actions while controlling the page via conversation.
The author concludes that implementing this securely is feasible and that they are actively building a solution.
