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.
