  • Slate is an autonomous agent designed for handling long and complex tasks efficiently.
  • Slate successfully ported the Browser Use project (70.3k stars) from Python to TypeScript in a couple of hours for under $60.
  • Task statistics: 311 requests, 583 tool calls, ~$58.32 total cost (~$46.65 input, ~$11.66 output).
  • The process started with minimal user input ('hi' and 'I want to port this project 1:1 to typescript'), showcasing Slate's autonomy.
  • Slate autonomously planned and executed the porting process, converting modules like exceptions, utilities, DOM, browser, and agent services.
  • The final TypeScript port was nearly 1:1 with the original Python project, missing only 4 files initially.
  • Slate entered a write-build-verify loop after the initial port, fixing issues autonomously with minimal user feedback.
  • The agent demonstrated problem-solving by identifying and resolving architectural mismatches, such as in the MessageManager.
  • The final working TypeScript port successfully replicated the original Python project's functionality, including browser automation tasks.
