Browser Audio Capture
Give any AI agent ears for the browser. One Chrome extension captures audio from any tab — meetings, YouTube, podcasts, webinars, courses, earnings calls — and streams it to your AI pipeline.
Why Use This
Your AI agent can't hear anything happening in your browser. This skill fixes that. Capture audio from any Chrome tab and stream it to your agent — no API keys, no OAuth, no per-platform integrations.
Use cases: meeting summaries, YouTube/podcast notes, competitive intel from earnings calls, auto-notes from online courses, customer call analysis — anything that plays audio in a browser tab.
Works with any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, LangChain, CrewAI, or your own. If your agent can run shell commands or receive HTTP, it gets browser audio.

Troubleshooting
- No tabs: Chrome needs
--remote-debugging-port=9222 - Button won't click: Remove + re-add extension (MV3 caches aggressively)
- Audio not arriving: Check receiver on port 8900. Extension sends to
/audio/browser
