FREE Convergence Proxy BEATS OpenAI Operator (SAVE $200/mo!)🤖 Best AI Browsing Agent?

so on this channel we've covered open AI deep research many different times as well as talking about different Alternatives the reason being is because open AI deep research as well as some other tools like Sora open ai's operator are behind a $200 per month pay wall and of course not everyone can afford that or does everyone just want to pay that now like I mentioned one of the other features is open ai's operator and if you're not familiar with operator is essentially a research preview of an agent that can now use its own browser to perform Tas for you but just like how a lot of Open Source Alternatives and different free versions of deep research have been coming out to combat open ai's operator and also just like how deep seek R1 released the open source reasoning model and then it really pushed open AI to release 03 mini there is a new kit on the block called convergence and it really goes to show that the cost of intelligence is really just plummeting right now and convergence just released their new tool called proxy proxy is your AI assistant for daily task it's a complete alternative to something like open ai's alternative and here's the catch it is for free with proxy you can actually do five sessions every day two parallel sessions one Automation and then if you really love proxy you can upgrade to the pro tier for just $20 per month which is the price of open AI cat GPT Plus subscription not pro literally a on10th of what you're getting with operator now in today's video we're going to take a look at proxy show you how you can get started with it and run some tests between proxy and opening eyes oper operator and see who is the better AI browsing agent let's dive right into it okay so before I dive into it I'm just going to read some tweets here so Europe is back in the AI race last week London based convergence AI turned heads by crushing open ai's operator today they're back with something even bigger proxy 1. 0 one of the most powerful web-based AI agents out there so apparently people are saying that it is supposed to be faster we'll see in when we do some tests here another thing to note is that proxy is available worldwide an operator at the moment's only available to the US region so if you're going to use it you're going to need a VPN which I'm on right now so this is cool after each task you run you can automate updates anytime running them as often as you like to create your own agent you can essentially schedule like cron jobs kind of like task and open AI they pulled this off with 24 employees and $12 million in funding which is 0. 067% of opening eyes funding so here we can see convergence on the web Voyager Benchmark and we can see that it is at 88% when opening as operator scored as 87% there's also agent e which we've covered on this channel a while ago which scored a 73% this is a really good one that we've used I really like this one it's very high quality so I'm very excited to try convergence if it is you know seeing that it is the top on the benchmarks here and I'll leave this blog post as well as everything that I covered already in today's video in the description down below so you can check out those links let's go ahead and check out convergence proxy so when you go to convergence.

a here you look at their pricing here like I said that there is the free plan which is very generous with five sessions per day up to five parallel sessions and one Automation and then if you want more you can go unlimited sessions up to 20 parallel sessions and then 20 automations or 20 bucks a month um if it's as good as everyone says it is then this is definitely a steal and I you know I may have to actually purchase this but we'll see with these tests here so you're going to want to make an account here and then once you do we're logged in it's like a very similar interface to really any AI tool like chat GPT or whatnot let's go ahead toggle on Dark mode here on the left you can see your chat history and all that good stuff and then over here we can see where we're going to make our prompt so they have a few templates right here so we have business company sentiment analysis review my Shopify store marketing research news sales devops other Etc and this is actually really cool I actually like this there's a template marketplace right here so welcome to the marketplace create your own template so this is actually very very cool I like this um cuz we can see now we have access to a plethora of different templates that other people made you can make these as well let's say I wanted to do what's trending on X we can simply click this what's trending on X created by convergence right here so the prompt extract the top number of hashtags to explore trending hashtags from X or Twitter for each hashtag collect sample of recent tweets to capture the current conversation that's step two and then step three produce a summary of reports on what is currently trending and then you can see the template variables right here that we're going to going to fill in is the number of hashtags so I'm going to say the top AI trending hashtags right here and we're going to go ahead and run this task now you can see that it started running you'll see we have this nice interface here with our ongoing task our completed task over here you can see it is starting it's pulling up X right here in the proxy view so now it's saying I need to log into X to access trending hashtags so it's giving us this popup here to sign in we're going to go ahead and sign in with Google Now saying credentials were requested now it's asking us what our email is okay so I just submitted that and now it's asking us for our password okay it's asking me to confirm on my phone right now okay so now it's asking me to verify my X account here okay so looks like we are in my X here okay so it looks like proxy just encountered an error here saying please start a new session okay I'm going to try this one more time here we created a new session now while this is going I'm going to use this same prompt and opening eyes operator right here we can see right now it's going to Twitter right here okay so now I'm going to log in okay so now I'm logged in with operator here so while that's going on I'm going to go check on convergence again okay and boom looks like it did its job correct this time I think maybe it glitched out last time maybe just cuz the human in the loop or whatnot but we can see here the steps compile report explore AI tweets explore AI tweets so it explored a lot explore AI hashtags and then we can see our summar so trending AI topics on x after examining the trending AI related hashtags on X here are a few key findings so Gro 3 we can see features includes deep search blah blah blah blah blah discussion points we have Google AI co- scientist we have applications of Evo 2 in biotech and we have ethics of synthetic genomes yeah there's been some crazy uh AI news lately now the cool thing is now that the task is complete we could share the session we could automate this task or can create a template so we could create a template like we saw in the template Library we could automate this task so if I click this welcome to automation choose your start time set your schedule stay informed let's say we wanted to change this to AI news and we wanted to do this every morning at 8:00 a. m. so you can make this daily weekly monthly and we select our time zone here and then you could create this Automation and boom we created this automation every single day it would give me a morning report of what is trending for AI on X so with operator I actually forgot to let it know that I logged in with convergence it kind of just picks up on that so I just let operator know that and now it should be good to go with the task we can see here it's searching AI right here you can see it's refining search for AI Trends so using the search bar it's searching different things right now we can just watch it scroll right now which is really cool open AI operator has been doing a lot of different searching and whatnot it's cool that you can click on this and it does show you where you know it was clicking and what it was doing in the history so I do really like this feature and it is taking a lot longer I would say you know I can't say exactly I would say the convergence um session right here maybe took like 4 minutes you know 3 4 5 minutes max um opening eyes has probably been about 5 minutes already now and we're still not done okay so open AI seemed to do a lot more research but it actually got a worse output and I don't know if this is a one-off case we'll do another test in a second but as you can see here I said produce a summary report on what is currently trending all open AI did is just gave me a top trending hashtags on X so AI right here to and briefly highlighted what that's about unry AGI embodied intelligence and then AI Healthcare so in terms of the researching it definitely took longer I'd say maybe at least a few minutes longer and it actually gave a much worse output I'm going to say I asked for a summary report okay and at least it gave a bit more of a report here so it's saying sort of the confusion here's a report and giving some a little bit longer summaries here of those AI um hashtags all in all for this first search I would definitely give the win to convergence I actually thought opening eyes just by judging how long it was taking was going to take the win but it definitely did not okay so this is a two-stage task right here so we're going to say go to executiv straw.

com which is our website and analyze the website and provide me an in-depth report on the targeted customer Avatar and different marketing ideas then go to x. com go to x. com elonmusk scroll through at least 10 recent posts if some posts have done particularly well maybe Deep dive into by clicking on the post and reading more in-depth stuff just click on the post note key engagement numbers like likes comments shares for each post summarize overall engagement Trends maybe make a suggestion on what seems to work well and what doesn't Okay so we're going to go ahead and send this now one thing I will note too is you see that there is a scratch Pad right here so from what I can tell this seems like it's just like a overall context you can write information here that that is always helpful for proxy across sessions so you can add this in and then and it will be context across multiple sessions so if you want to prompt proxy to give you specific outputs like always make it very indepth or you know always do such and such then you can do that in the scratch Pad which is nice okay so now we're starting this new session here while we're doing this I'm going to start a new session in operator as well okay so I'm pasting this in clicking send I'm actually starting my clock right here so I'm timing the convergence one and I pretty much started operator a couple seconds after okay so convergence is on our website executiv stride.

comom and and it's analyzing it at the moment looks like operator is actually having some issues I just saw it try to go there and it was having some issues but it actually had to Google okay that's weird I don't know if that's something to do with our website or if that's something to do with operator I have a Google Chrome tab right here open if I go to executive. com everything works fine for me so I don't know what is going on there I'm going to say try again if not working just skip that step okay so convergence is still going right now it's saying fail to load image so no big deal hopefully everything's going well here okay so it looks like operator's just skipping that step in general so unfortunately it wasn't working okay so convergence was kind of glitching out there but I just refreshed it and now it's looking like it's good to go it's doing its work right here so I'm very um pleased to see that now operator funny enough finished a lot quicker this time um 3 minutes so we can see all the different history right here but we got literally just a paragraph Elon mus engagement on X varies wildly with likes ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands all right you can see it's very very basic here humor and Tesla related content also perform well less engaging posts typically involve less controversial topics balancing current events humor and Tesla updates seems effective so definitely not the output that I was looking for okay and here is Convergence output so first off we have our executive stride analysis here and then we have our Elon mus engagement analysis here and this one's I like how it's formatted better it just looks a lot more put together like an actual report um so we can see Target customer Avatar right here the executive stride is designed for business aing to enhance their lead generation and client acquisition process through AI technology key features such as 24/7 AI agents and Precision driven strategies appeal to blah blah blah blah blah I think you get the point marketing ideas AI Precision customer testimonials video content cost efficiency and then Elon Musk X profile analysis this is what we can actually compare to operators the post related to Major projects like starlink and cyber truck consistently receive high engagement often exceeding thousands of likes reposts and Views visual content such as images or videos enhances engagement technological updates and Innovations attract significant attention interactions content strategy suggestions focus on major project updates and Innovations to maintain High engagement levels utilize visual content to capture audience interest and continue highlighting groundbreaking Technologies to leverage elas influence an audience interest so pretty good stuff honestly I would probably like you know this could just be a couple one-off situations and cases you know if you do maybe 10 of these some op operator may win some convergence may win but I would say both of these for sure I would give the win 100% to conver I like the output better um I like just how it worked better now for this one convergence I don't know if it was lagging or what not and it did do an extra step but it did take maybe about 8 minutes but definitely a bit longer there but I can say I am extremely impressed I am currently on the free plan guys so you can really try this out for yourselves 100% for free I think it's really cool how you can set up tasks and automations to run like KRON jobs and you could do some very advanced stuff with this if you get you know creative you could get it to respond to your DMs you could get it to even create different pieces of content for you I think the possibilities are really endless and this is just a preview of to what is coming and like I said this is a smaller company an open Ai and this is kind of like the Deep seek effect where intelligence and all this next level stuff is going to zero so it's pretty crazy to see and it's only going to get crazier if you're new to the channel and you like this type of content around ai ai agents AI coding that's what we upload on here so make sure to like the video comment down below letting me know your thoughts and subscribe to stay up to date with the uploads also too guys if you haven't already join our free Facebook group and Discord Channel strid community. com I'll leave a link down below and then you're definitely going to want to check out our stride AI Academy for behind the scenes resources templates tools and trainings and more and then also too guys if you run a business and you need help implementing AI agents like AI appointment sets AI cold callers AI custom grow Solutions the book will call down below at executive.
