I had basically this exact idea too a few months ago and at the time already found a few implementations attempting it. https://robomonkey.io/ being one example I found so didn't pursue it further.

Also it turns out llm's are already very good at just generating Violentmonkey scripts for me with minimal prompting. They also are great for quickly generating full blown minimal extensions with something like WXT when you run into userscript limitations. These are kind of the perfect projects for coding with llm's given the relatively small context of even a modest extension and certainly a userscript.

I am a bit surprised YC would fund this as I think building a large business on the idea will be extremely difficult.

One angle I was/am considering that I think could be interesting would be truly private and personal recommendation systems using LLM's that build up personal context on your likes/dislikes and that you fully control and could own and steer. Ideally local inference and basically an algo that has zero outside business interests.
