About this page
This page introduces Tap, a protocol and toolchain that transforms AI browser operations into deterministic programs. Instead of AI repeatedly figuring out tasks from scratch, Tap allows AI to forge a program once (.tap.js file), then replays it deterministically at zero cost. The system includes Forge (AI writes programs), Verify (testing), and Run (cost-free replay). Tap programs use 8 core and 17 built-in operations for complete browser control, written in plain JavaScript. It supports multiple runtimes: Chrome Extension, Playwright, and macOS. With 119 community skills across 55 sites available, Tap offers advantages over Playwright by providing AI-generated scripts and significant cost reduction per execution.
