BrowserOS neo is an open-source, Chromium-based agentic browser positioned as a privacy-first alternative to cloud-run browser agents like Perplexity's Comet. It has a Chrome-like interface and supports existing Chrome extensions, but adds a local AI agent layer that can browse and take actions on a user's behalf using either the user's own API keys or fully local models via Ollama — keeping browsing data on the user's own machine rather than sending it to a cloud AI provider. Because agents run in the user's actual browser rather than a headless cloud instance, they inherit the user's real logins and sessions instead of needing separate authentication. BrowserOS also exposes an MCP-compatible interface, so external coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Zed, or GitHub Copilot can drive the browser directly with a one-click install. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and its source is maintained across several repositories under the browseros-ai GitHub organization.

Kuberns is an AI-agentic cloud Platform-as-a-Service that connects to your GitHub or GitLab repo, auto-detects your stack, and provisions AWS infrastructure to deploy and manage applications with zero configuration. It's built for developers, startup founders, and agencies who want to ship without writing YAML, managing Docker, or hiring DevOps engineers. Its key differentiator is a single AI agent that owns the full workflow—understand, analyze, deploy, and monitor with automatic rollback—on pay-as-you-go, deploy-first-pay-later pricing.
