AI browser

From HandWiki
Short description: Web browser with integrated AI capabilities


An AI browser is a web browser with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as automatically summarizing webpage content or answering questions about it. A more dedicated type is agentic browser, based on the concept of agentic AI, which can even take actions (such as navigating webpages or filling out forms)[1][2].

As of 2025, this is a recent development in the browser market, including new entrants from OpenAI, Opera and Perplexity.[3][4] The designation of AI browser also includes established browsers that later added non agentic AI features, such as Microsoft Edge with the Copilot chatbot[5] and Google Chrome with the Gemini chatbot (for Windows desktop users in the US with their language set to English)[6].

Cloud-based implementations of AI browser allow users to run automated browsing agents without local installation. These systems operate on remote servers using frameworks such as Puppeteer[7] or Playwright.[8] Examples include Browserbase,[9] Browser-use,[10] and AI Browser.[11] The AI typically parses the Document Object Model (DOM)[12] to locate and interact with page elements, and may also analyze browser screenshots to interpret layout and structure.
