Why "Agents" Are Broken:
The Case for Owning Your AI.
Big tech wants you to rent their agents for $20/month. Weaszel proves there's a better, cheaper, and more powerful way.
The promise of AI agents is simple: an assistant that does the work for you. It books flights, applies for jobs, and buys groceries while you sleep.
But the reality of today's "premium" agents—like OpenAI's $20/month offering or Anthropic's Claude—is far from that dream. They are walled gardens, expensive toys, and fundamentally limited by their creators.
The $20/Month "Beta Test"
Let's look at OpenAI's recent "Agent" launch. For a monthly subscription, you get access to a tool that claims to browse the web. In reality?
- Blocked Everywhere: Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy all block it. It can't shop for you if it can't get in the door.
- No Real Action: It can't actually book flights or make reservations. It's a "look but don't touch" browser.
- Opaque Token Burning: It spins its wheels for 20 minutes, burning invisible credits, only to fail silently.
The Cost of Claude
Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet is incredible, but it comes with a steep price tag. Running an agent loop with Claude can cost upwards of $3 per million input tokens.
For a single complex task that requires 50 steps and constant screen reading, you could burn through $5-$10 in a single afternoon. It's powerful, but it's not sustainable for daily automation unless you have a corporate budget.
Enter Weaszel: The Freedom to Choose
Weaszel takes a different approach. Instead of renting a black box, you own the agent. It runs on your machine, in your terminal, using your browser.
How It Works
Weaszel leverages the new Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Preview. This model is trained to "see" screens just like a human does.
When you give Weaszel a command, it:
- Takes a screenshot of your browser.
- Sends it to Gemini to analyze.
- Receives coordinates for where to click or what to type.
- Executes the action using Playwright.
- Repeats the loop until the job is done.
This "Human-in-the-Loop" architecture is the future. You aren't relying on an API to integrate with Amazon; you're relying on a visual intelligence that navigates Amazon just like you would.
Stop Renting. Start Owning.
The era of paying $20/month for a broken promise is over. Download Weaszel, get your own API key (pay only for what you use), and unleash a true agent into your terminal.
