In this interview, Magnus Müller recounts the gritty early days of building Browsees, describing how he and his team lived in a coworking space, showered in a gym, washed clothes in a homeless shelter, and cooked eggs in a microwave. He explains how, after just four days, they launched a product on Hacker News that quickly resonated with users, describing the experience as "magical." Müller then shares his vision for autonomous AI agents, predicting a shift this year where humans will stop prompting AI and instead be prompted by AI. He addresses legal concerns, noting Amazon's court order blocking Perplexity's AI shopping agent and discussing how such actions could affect the ecosystem, while also speculating that a single super‑general agent (referencing Claude Coeuret) may eventually dominate. Finally, he shares a personal hitchhiking adventure across Central America and the Middle East, using the story to illustrate resilience and optimism that, despite worries, everything will turn out fine.

Chapters

When we were starting Browsees, we were living in a coworking space. We were showering in a gym. I was washing my clothes in that place where homeless people wash their clothes. There was only a microwave to cook. For the eggs, you should have maximum like 50 seconds, otherwise the egg explodes and the entire microwave is full of the egg. How hard could it be to just do it ourselves? It took me like 20 recordings till I could have a recording of how it applies to a job for me, but it felt magical. We pushed this to Hacker News 4 days after we started. And people liked it.
How do you think our everyday life will change if we truly have these autonomous agents running around doing stuff for us?
I think we will see this year a change where you will stop prompting AI, but AI will prompt more and more you.
Amazon won a court order blocking Perplexity's AI shopping agent. Does this lawsuit scare you?
Most end users, they love it. They want to deploy 1,000 agents out there to do things for them. But many websites, now if your AI agent visits the ad, they maybe don't make any money from it. If we are successful, it would be super easy for Claude Coeuret to replace us. Because I think in the end there will be one super good general agent which can do everything. I was hitchhiking around the world with a hammock. I was hitchhiking through Central America, and I was hitchhiking from Germany to Iran, to Middle East, with a hammock, and sleeping outside in the forest. Your brain screams with worries. But most often, next day you realize, okay, everything ended up well. In the end, everything will be fine.
