For personal accounts.

From saved to understood
Three kinds of evidence. One workflow.
Your saved ideas
Read the loaded saved grid, inspect a post or compare carousel images and captions.
A local pipeline
Visible manual login, Obscura-only account access and offline FFmpeg/Whisper analysis.
“Open my saved posts. Take the first Reel and explain what happens and what they say.”
Workflow example, not a screenshot of a real account. Your assistant supplies the visual interpretation and translation.
A clear boundary between login and browsing.
Playwright opens a visible window for your manual login and 2FA, then closes. All subsequent Instagram and CDN access goes through Obscura. No hidden browser fallback.
- Visible Playwright login + 2FA
- Obscura: posts, saved items and media
- Local multilingual speech + frames
- Your AI assistant: interpretation and translation

Useful answers before you connect.
Does it require a business account?
No. This is a browser-based personal-account workflow, not a Graph API integration.
Does it understand every language?
It uses multilingual Whisper with automatic detection. Coverage and accuracy vary; the host assistant handles explanation, translation and on-screen text.
Can it send messages and publish?
It exposes account-checked UI primitives. Dedicated send/publish APIs are not provided, and real sends/publications were not release-tested. Verify each requested operation.
Is account data public?
The repository contains no sessions, saved-post data or downloaded media. Your local runtime persists private cookies and artifacts; protect it and review the threat model.
Built for humans. Legible to agents.
A practical tool reference, a reusable agent skill, AGENTS.md and llms.txt document the boundaries as well as the capabilities. English by default, with a full Russian entry point.
