Ego Lite Launches: A Browser Automation Tool Built for AI Agents

Why ego lite?
Code Base, Not CLI Base
Complex tasks finish up to 2.5× faster with higher success rates and fewer tool calls. Agents write JavaScript functions directly instead of getting stuck in command loops.
Dedicated Space for Every Agent
Each agent gets its own fully isolated workspace. You browse in the foreground, agents work in the background. No tab conflicts.
Parallel Multitasking
Run multiple agents simultaneously in different Spaces. Claude Code enriching 10 leads, Codex scraping 5 competitor sites—all at once.
Strongest Page Snapshot
Kernel-level customization handles tough cases like deeply nested iframes where other approaches break down. Reliable page analysis for AI agents.
Any Agent Can Drive It
ego-browser connects any agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to ego lite. Exposes browser as JavaScript tools: snapshot, fill, click, wait, navigate, capture.
Chrome Data Inheritance
Migrate your existing Chrome data during setup. Agents inherit your logins, cookies, extensions, and bookmarks automatically.
