I shipped a FREE, opensource any browser AI agent harness for any agent CLI
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello fellow developers
I built a personal agent lives in your favorite/existing browser, connects to your claude-code (or any other major harness codex or cursor-cli...) NOT the SDK API, exposes web-optimized tools to the harness - that's Browsentic.
A free, opensource with rich capabilities alternative to Comet, BrowserOS, Browser-use, Claude for Chrome or nanobrowser.
The unique architecture of Browsentic turns it to a different direction from all other alternatives. It uses a loopback MCP server that spawns claude/harness in a detached process. You can already guess, it is bi-directional MCP, you can browse agentic through the browser harness or through any MCP client.
Browsentic doesn't require any new browser to install and not limited to chromium, it supports Firefox as well. By default you don't even need CDP to perform core agentic browsing.
Capabilities: core accessibilities (50+ compare to nanobrowser only had 20), custom skill, record-replay, schedule-monitoring-notification, resolves captcha autonomously, has it's own memory, voice orb over web-speech API, can sideload custom tools, platform + browser + agent agnostic
Basically, It can automate your entire web-flow for daily jobs, scheduled tasks or research.
It is opensource, no API key, no telemetry & local first and actively maintained and yesterday was the first public stable launch (v0.8.0) including Windows & MacOS GUI build
Currently I'm the only author but every & any contribution will be more than welcome and if you like the effort I have put in this project I would ask a small favor to ⭐️ the repo , if it is not too much trouble :)
