Ego Lite
Ego Lite is an open-source browser purpose-built for AI agents to perform web automation tasks. It enables sharing of the user's logged-in browser state with AI agents like Codex or Claude Code, allowing them to operate as authenticated users without requiring separate credentials or interrupting the human user. Designed for speed and simplicity, it requires zero configuration and incurs no cost, making it an accessible tool for integrating AI into browser-based workflows. The browser focuses on being the fastest option for agentic automation, providing a lightweight environment where AI can interact with web pages, fill forms, extract data, and test applications. By leveraging the existing browser session, Ego Lite removes the friction of setting up authentication, streamlining the development of AI assistants that need to act on behalf of the user.

Problem solved
Ego Lite solves the problem of allowing AI agents to use a web browser that is already authenticated, eliminating the need to configure separate login credentials or disturb the user's active session. This enables seamless automation of tasks that require access to logged-in services, reducing setup overhead and potential interruptions.
