BrowserOS vs UseAgent

BrowserOS is an open-source Chromium-based browser with AI agents for carrying out web tasks from natural-language directions. The agents can navigate, click, type, fill forms, extract data, and run workflows across multiple steps. Chat Mode answers questions about the page in view; visual Graph Mode for repeatable workflows is marked as coming soon. BrowserOS supports Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, and local models through Ollama or LM Studio. Its maker lists more than 40 MCP app integrations, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, and Calendar, as well as 53 built-in browser tools. An included MCP server connects with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex. As a Chromium fork, it supports Chrome extensions and import of Chrome bookmarks, passwords, and settings. Browsing data stays on-device unless cloud syncing is enabled; syncing is off by default, and synced activity is encrypted on BrowserOS servers. BrowserOS says it does not store or log AI prompts or responses, though providers may handle submitted data under their own policies. It is free and licensed under AGPL-3.0.

UseAgent provides AI coworkers that research, prepare reports, and handle follow-ups using company knowledge and connected tools. Teams can add documents and instructions, review proposed knowledge before sharing it, and optionally use team memory. Agents can run recurring workflows hourly, daily, or weekly and post results to Slack. They can also create editable DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files for export to Office or PDF. The cloud plan lists Chat, OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, and Pi as agent engines. Integrations include GitHub, Slack, Linear, Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, Google Drive, MCP servers, and PostgreSQL. GitHub access currently supports reading pull requests, issues, and commits; write operations are marked as coming soon. Agents work in isolated Linux environments, and teams can inspect saved requests, tool calls, approvals, and results. Users can require approval before sensitive actions. Cloud and self-host plans are free, but users supply their own AI provider keys and providers bill for model usage and computer time. Bots and routines are planned for self-host v0.0.4, while the public repository is at v0.0.3.
