ego lite

ego (lite) is a Chromium browser designed to be used by both you and your AI agents at the same time. Instead of spinning up a separate headless browser that has no access to your logins, agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor drive ego (lite) directly through a connection layer called ego-browser. They get your real cookies, sessions, and logged-in state from day one.

The core problem it solves: most browser automation for AI tools require a blank browser instance that has to re-authenticate to every service before doing anything useful. ego (lite) skips that entirely by sharing the same Chromium profile you already use daily.

Key capabilities:

• Spaces keep the agent's work isolated from yours. It runs tasks in its own workspace; your tabs stay untouched unless you hand one over.
• Parallel task execution lets multiple agents run separate automation jobs simultaneously, each in its own Space, without colliding.
• Batch JavaScript actions let an agent run several in-page steps in one pass rather than one tool call at a time, cutting token usage and finishing complex tasks up to 3.45x faster than comparable tools.
• Semantic snapshots are generated inside a custom Chromium engine, not a JavaScript shim. They reach into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM, and third-party widgets like Stripe, Salesforce, and React portals that standard tools miss.
• Chrome migration imports your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, cookies, and tab groups in one click during onboarding.
• No login friction means agents never hit captchas, 2FA prompts, or SSO redirects, because they're already authenticated through your session.

Unlike Browserbase or Anchor Browser, ego (lite) is also your daily browser. You don't run it alongside Chrome; it replaces Chrome. Any agent that can invoke a shell command can drive it through ego-browser, with no SDK to integrate and no model lock-in. All browsing data stays local on your machine.
