Ops build, developers deploy, Asteroid self-improves.","body":"### **TL;DR**\n\n**Asteroid** is the fastest way to build self-healing browser agents, no technical experience required. \\\n\\\nOur new **AI agent builder**, **Astro**, allows you to build **complex, multistep browser agents** by building an agent graph, writing prompts, adding tools, human in the loop and guardrails.\n\nThis makes Asteroid agents suitable for **mission-critical workflows**, and more than **25 businesses** already use them in healthcare, insurance, and beyond.\\\n\\\n**Astro** **is fully available, build your agent [here](https://platform.asteroid.ai/)!**\n\nhttps://youtu.be/ugY_qLTfmG8\n\n### **What is the problem?**\n\nStartups need to integrate with external portals (carriers, suppliers, healthcare) but can’t wait months for APIs.\n\nMany great browser-agent frameworks have emerged in the past year, but **non-technical teams still can’t build production-grade agents.**\n\nOperations leaders, PMs, and founders are the ones who **understand the workflows and edge cases** and _should_ be the builders. Relying on developers to constantly fix prompts for every new edge case isn’t sustainable.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96061\u0026key=user_uploads/1651915/d73eee4d-bcc6-461f-953e-6fdd56374905)\n\n### **Solution: Astro - AI Builder for Complex Browser Agents**\n\nToday we’re launching **Astro**, our AI builder that lets anyone create **complex, self-healing browser agents in under 2 minutes**. Tell Astro what you want, for example _“Build an agent to pull patient data from this EHR”_, and it generates the full agent.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96061\u0026key=user_uploads/1651915/53714daf-535a-450a-8a76-82eb70d43007)\n\n**Astro improves the agent using previous runs.** Behind the scenes, it writes code when needed, including Playwright scripts for deterministic steps, giving everyone code-level reliability.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96061\u0026key=user_uploads/1651915/62627740-6f1e-47ce-a197-917e01ceade7)\n\nEvery part of the agent, including graphs, prompts, and model settings, is fully visible so you can make precise, surgical edits whenever needed.\n\n### **How does it work**\n\n1. **Build:** Non-technical teams create agents directly in the platform. Astro generates the prompts, agent graphs, and tools needed to handle even the most complex browser workflows.\n2. **Deploy:** Developers drop in a single code snippet to call the agent through Asteroid’s API/SDKs.\n3. **Supervise:** Monitor live sessions, review recordings, track performance, and trigger human-in-the-loop via Slack when needed.\n4. **Improve:** Non-technical teams update prompts and ship new agent versions instantly as workflows change.\n\n### **Ship your first agent today**\n\n**Astro** **is fully available, try it for free [here](https://platform.asteroid.ai/) or book a [demo](https://cal.com/asteroidai/15min) with a founder!**","slug":"OzN-asteroid-ai-builder-for-complex-browser-agents","created_at":"2025-12-09T22:31:58.000Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:56:41.765Z","total_vote_count":227,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OzN-asteroid-ai-builder-for-complex-browser-agents","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=96061\u0026key=user_uploads/1651915/98bf23c2-a556-4749-b2b1-d21db60d66ec","company":{"id":30259,"name":"Asteroid","slug":"asteroid","url":"https://asteroid.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4598dd293d773fa0a9a1c72940f2f2e3153dda35.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Robotic Process Automation","Health Tech","B2B","Automation"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30259"}}
