ego-lite
The fastest browser for AI agents to run web 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.
What is it?
What it is
A high-performance browser designed for parallel human-AI collaboration, featuring isolated 'Spaces' for agent tasks and a JavaScript-based skill layer for automation.
Why it exists
To solve the limitations of existing automation frameworks and AI browsers by providing a shared workspace where agents can inherit user logins/data and run complex tasks in parallel without interfering with the user's active tabs.
Who should use it
AI agent developersUsers of CLI-based agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)Web automation engineersDevelopers needing parallel browser multitasking for agentsUsers wanting to avoid login friction in browser automation
Who should avoid it
Windows users (feature currently on roadmap)Linux users (feature currently on roadmap)Users looking for a standalone AI browser with a built-in agent only

FAQ
What makes ego lite different from other browser automation frameworks?
Unlike frameworks like browser-use that require a separate browser instance, ego lite is a dedicated browser designed for parallel use. It allows you to keep your own tabs open while agents work in isolated 'Spaces,' and it can inherit your existing Chrome logins, cookies, and extensions.
How do I install ego lite for my AI agents?
You can install the `ego-browser` skill using npx by running `npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite`. Alternatively, you can download the macOS app directly for Apple Silicon or Intel. Once installed, your agent can use the `/ego-browser` command to perform tasks.
Does using ego lite affect my current browsing session?
No. ego lite provides a dedicated 'Space' for every agent. This means your agent works in the background in its own workspace, and your mouse and tabs remain untouched, allowing you to multitask without interference.
Is my browsing data secure?
Yes, your browsing data stays on your local device. ego lite only records whether you opted into Chrome migration during the initial setup process.
What operating systems are supported?
Currently, ego lite runs on macOS. Support for Windows and Linux is listed on the project roadmap.
