The Remote Browser feature in Sixth allows the AI assistant to interact with web content directly through a controlled browser instance. This enables several powerful capabilities:
  • Viewing and interacting with websites
  • Testing locally running web applications
  • Monitoring console logs and errors
  • Performing browser actions like clicking, typing, and scrolling

Remote Browser in Sixth

​
What is Remote Browser?

Remote Browser allows Sixth to view and interact with websites directly. This feature enables Sixth to:
  • Visit websites and view their content
  • Test your locally running web applications
  • Fill out forms and click on elements
  • Capture screenshots of what it sees
  • Scroll through pages to see more content

​
How to Use Remote Browser

​
Basic Commands

You can ask Sixth to use the browser with simple instructions:
  • Open a website: “Use the browser to check the website at https://example.com”
  • Click on elements: “Click the login button”
  • Type text: “Type ‘Hello world’ in the search box”
  • Scroll the page: “Scroll down to see more content”
  • Close the browser: “Close the browser now”

​
Important Things to Know

​
One Browser at a Time

Sixth can only use one browser at a time. If you want to visit a different website, you can either:
  • Ask Sixth to navigate to a new URL within the same browser session
  • Ask Sixth to close the current browser and open a new one

​
Browser Must Be Closed Before Using Other Tools

If you want Sixth to edit files or run commands after using the browser, you must first ask it to close the browser:

​
What Sixth Sees

The browser has a fixed viewport size (900x600 pixels by default), similar to a small laptop screen. Sixth will share screenshots after each action so you can see exactly what it sees.

​
Console Logs

Sixth captures browser console logs, which can be helpful for debugging web applications. These logs are included with each screenshot.

​
Common Use Cases

  • Web Development: Test your websites and web applications
  • UI/UX Review: Get feedback on website design and usability
  • Content Research: Have Sixth browse websites to gather information
  • Form Testing: Verify that forms work correctly
  • Responsive Design Testing: Check how websites look at different screen sizes

​
Troubleshooting

  • If a website doesn’t load: Try providing a direct URL with the http:// or https:// prefix
  • If clicking doesn’t work: Try describing the location of the element more precisely
  • If the browser seems stuck: Ask Sixth to close the browser and try again

​
Using Remote Browser with VS Code in WSL

When running VS Code in WSL, you’ll need to configure Windows to allow WSL to connect to Chrome. Follow these steps:

​
Open PowerShell as Administrator and Run:

​
Configure Sixth in VS Code:

  1. Open VS Code settings
  2. Search for “Sixth: Chrome Executable Path”
  3. Set the value to the path of your Chrome executable (e.g., C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe)
Sixth should now be able to use the Remote Browser feature from within WSL.
