ego-lite
The fastest browser for AI agents to run browser automation, built for sharing your logged-in browser state with your AI agents, like Codex or Claude Code, without disturbing you. Zero cost, zero config.
ego-lite is a browser automation agent skill that enables AI assistants like Claude Code and Codex to perform web tasks in isolated workspaces without interfering with your regular browsing. Instead of traditional CLI-based browser automation, it exposes browser capabilities as JavaScript functions that agents call directly, resulting in faster execution with fewer tokens. The skill includes the ego-browser interface that any agent can use to drive the browser, plus a dedicated macOS application that creates separate Spaces for parallel agent tasks while preserving your logged-in sessions and browsing data locally.
