About BrowseGPT

BrowseGPT is a free, open-source Chrome extension for AI browser automation. Describe a task in plain English and an AI model (Claude or OpenAI GPT) clicks, types, and navigates web pages for you, explaining every step as it goes.

The extension runs in your own Chrome browser and performs actions in the tab you already have open, with no separate headless browser. It uses Claude (Claude Haiku 4.5 by default) and can be switched to OpenAI GPT models, and can be run locally with your own API key.

Each step includes the AI's reasoning, so its behavior is easy to follow and debug. You can see what the AI is thinking and help it correct course when it gets stuck, since every action comes with a reason.

Describe a task in plain English and it clicks, types, and navigates web pages for you, using AI models to decide the next action and provide a reason for that action. The process repeats until the task is done, enabling AI-driven browser automation without writing code.

Frequently asked questions

What is BrowseGPT?

BrowseGPT is a free, open-source Chrome extension for AI browser automation. You type a goal in plain English and an AI model operates the current tab for you by clicking, typing, and navigating until the task is done.

Which AI models does BrowseGPT use?

BrowseGPT uses Anthropic's Claude (Claude Haiku 4.5 by default) and can be switched to OpenAI GPT models. You can override the model with an environment variable when running the server.

Is BrowseGPT free?

Yes. BrowseGPT is free and open source. If you run the server yourself, you pay only for API usage with your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key.

How is BrowseGPT different from Selenium, Playwright, or Puppeteer?

Those are scripting frameworks where you write code with selectors for every step. BrowseGPT needs no code: you describe the outcome and the AI decides which elements to interact with, inside your normal Chrome browser.

Is BrowseGPT safe to use?

⚠️ BrowseGPT is experimental. It can click the wrong thing, get stuck in a loop, or navigate to a URL that 404s, and page content is sent to an AI model. Don't use it on pages with private information, or where taking the wrong action could cause a serious problem, such as banking or checkout pages.
