OpenMuse: chat-controlled browser agent in a disposable VM, 915 stars

aniketmaurya · x · 2026-09-15

OpenMuse, an open-source example in CelestoAI's SmolVM repo (915 stars), is a chat-based computer coworker that operates any public website in a disposable VM — chat on the left, live browser on the right, no site-specific adapters. Safety design: every model-proposed Playwright program requires one-time approval before running, and the OpenAI API key stays in the host Node process while model-written code runs unprivileged inside the browser VM. Setup: npm install, copy .env.example, add OPENAIAPIKEY, run npm dev at 127.0.0.1:5174. Recommended for a challenge where three devs build a company in 3 days using only Grok.
