Free browser that lets AI agents run parallel web automation with your own logins
The agent runs in an isolated Space inside the browser, so it never hijacks your tabs, mouse or focus. Switch in to watch, or ignore it and keep working.
ego (lite) imports your whole Chrome profile in one click, so every site you are signed into stays signed in and the agent inherits that session.
Snapshots are built inside the custom Chromium engine and reach into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and third-party widgets like Stripe, Salesforce and Intercom.
Measured in ego's real-world benchmark, ego-browser completed complex tasks roughly 47–63% faster than rival tools with a 93.5% success rate and lower cost per task.
Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
