Introduction of Proxy: A New Player in AI Browsing Agents

Proxy is a newly launched AI browsing agent by Convergence AI, positioned as a free alternative to OpenAI's paid operator agent. The excitement around Proxy stems from its cost-effectiveness, especially when compared to the $200 monthly fee for the operator. This pricing decision is aimed at enhancing AI accessibility, which is essential for broader adoption of AI technologies. The competition is intensifying, as smaller companies like Convergence AI are demonstrating that effective models can be developed with significantly lower funding than giants such as OpenAI.
