Taprun
The action layer your agent drives in your own logged-in browser — for the exception-heavy, compliance-critical last 20% that clean APIs can't reach. Compiled once, replayed forever at zero LLM tokens.

Your agent's closed-loop action layer for the browser — the login-gated, exception-heavy, compliance-critical last 20% that clean APIs and cloud agents can't reach. Driven in your own Chrome, captured once, replayed forever at zero LLM tokens.
As APIs get walled off and metered, the work that survives lives behind logins, OTP walls, and human-gesture gates — the exceptions, approvals, and compliance steps a cloud agent architecturally can't touch. Taprun is the action layer for exactly that: your agent drives your real, already-logged-in Chrome, closes the loop (act → verify the effect → re-run on drift), and hands you a deterministic replay you own.
Every other browser agent re-runs a live LLM — and re-burns tokens — on every execution. Taprun's AI agent inspects the page once and emits a deterministic .flow.json program; every replay after that is pure data dispatch — same result every call, $0 in tokens, no agent in the loop. It runs in your real Chrome, so cookies and login sessions stay on your machine by architecture. tap verify catches breakage before your data goes stale.
Works with Claude Code, CodeBuddy, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and any MCP host — install straight from the chat window. Forge a tap from any URL on demand — no catalog needed.
Capture: AI inspects the site → compiles a .flow.json program (one-time cost)
Run: The program executes instantly, same result every time ($0, zero AI)
Verify: tap verify checks the snapshot equivalence predicate (catches drift)
Repair: re-run capture against the same site/name; the next (only when needed)
