What ego (lite) is
ego (lite) is a Chromium-based browser for AI agents that need access to a logged-in browser state. Users and agents can keep work in separate Spaces, and agents can run tasks in parallel Spaces subject to the limits of the user’s machine. The ego-browser skill connects command-line agents through in-page JavaScript tools for actions such as taking snapshots, filling fields, clicking, waiting, navigating, and capturing content. The site names Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Continue, Gemini CLI, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and OpenCode, and says any agent able to run a shell command can connect. Onboarding can transfer Chrome tabs, groups, bookmarks, passwords, extensions, cookies, sessions, and profiles. The maker says browsing history, cookies, sessions, and agent-read content remain on the user’s computer, while usage analytics are sent to its servers; crash reports may be uploaded when enabled, and that option is on by default during setup. Available for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, ego (lite) is in beta. Its individual plan is free, and a Business plan has custom pricing.
