Scraping data by taking a screenshot of a dashboard and then running it through a vision model is both slightly absurd and potentially quite a robust way of accessing data that's otherwise impossible to extract!

@simon Maybe that's a way to finally have editors autocomplete based on the documentation the browser shows right there in a second window? 🦧💡

@simon For additional Rube Goldberg bonus points, use a camera to take a picture of the screen when the dashboard somehow prevents taking screenshots…
