I remember watching the AlphaGo documentary in 2017. What stood out to me was that the model got drastically better when it started competing against itself. GANs clicked for me similarly: a generator and discriminator competing, and somehow the competition is what produces something remarkable.

I've been curious whether this principle generalizes to today's agents.

So mehulkalia and I built Browser Brawl at the YC / BrowserUse hackathon last weekend and won first place. It is a fun experiment in which an attacker agent tries to complete tasks on live websites while a defender agent injects JavaScript to sabotage it.

The analogy isn't perfect, because browser tasks aren't zero-sum. But our hypothesis is that an agent faced with an adversary should produce more interesting training data than one navigating clean, static environments.

Would love to chat with anyone building or training browser agents. Happy to dive in below!
