BrowserOS

BrowserOS is an open-source web browser built on Chromium (the same foundation as Google Chrome) that has AI agent capabilities built directly into it. It is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. You connect your own API key from providers like Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini, or you can run a local AI model on your own computer using tools like Ollama or LM Studio. Your data does not leave your machine when using local models.

The core feature is an AI agent that can control the browser for you. It understands plain-language instructions and can navigate pages, click buttons, fill forms, and pull data from websites. It has over 53 tools for this kind of browser automation. There is also a visual builder for creating repeatable workflows, so you can chain together a series of actions and run them again later without repeating the instructions each time.

BrowserOS includes a feature called Cowork, which lets the AI agent work with both websites and files on your computer at the same time. For example, it can research something on the web and save a summary to a folder on your machine. You can also schedule tasks to run automatically on a timer. A memory feature lets the assistant remember context from previous conversations rather than starting fresh every time.

The browser exposes an MCP server, which means other AI coding tools (like Claude Code or Gemini CLI) can control the browser remotely through a standard interface. It also has an LLM Hub that lets you compare responses from Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini side by side on any page. Ad blocking is included, and the project states it provides stronger protection than Chrome by default.

You can import bookmarks, passwords, and extensions from an existing Chrome installation. A command-line tool called browseros-cli is available for controlling the browser from a terminal or from AI coding agents. The project is licensed under AGPL v3.
