The AI took his favourite Chrome plugin from his own install and ported it to Safari

A man who uses three browsers daily always missed plugins in Safari. He told the AI it could get the source code of one of his favourite Chrome plugins from his Chrome install, then port it and install it in Safari. After 20 minutes and a few dollars of his plan, he had Session Buddy working in Safari.

How it works

  1. He tells the AI the plugin is installed in Chrome and it can take the source from there
  2. The AI ports the code and installs it in Safari
  3. After 20 minutes he has Session Buddy working in Safari

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent fetched the source from his own browser install and handed back the same plugin running in a different browser.
