A user shares browser control bottlenecks encountered while building automated workflows (like booking barber appointments) with Hermes Agent. Although CAPTCHAs were successfully bypassed using CapSolver, the agent's built-in Computer Use feature proved too weak to read browser-autofilled credit card CVV codes.
The author notes that the Claude Code Chrome extension is far more powerful in comparison, having successfully used it to build complex HubSpot CRM architectures and waterfall tables in Clay. They are now seeking better production-grade solutions for agent browser control and payment obstacles.
