Episode notes
Browsers Are The Prime Agent Platform
- Jaeden Schafer argues browsers are the most promising form factor for useful agentic AI today.
- Browsers have the widest distribution and can safely take many user actions without full computer control.
Metadata Critic Prevents Prompt Injection
- Google uses a separate Gemini-based critic to check each agent step against the user's original goal.
- The critic sees only metadata, not screen content, to avoid prompt-injection tricks.
Restrict Origins And Iframe Interactions
- Limit agent access by origin: allow read-only and writable origins selectively.
- Restrict clicking/typing to approved iframes to reduce cross-origin data leaks and iframe attacks.
