BrowsAI

Read full description

BrowsAI is a native iOS AI browser built for knowledge workers, indie makers and power users. It combines a full-featured web browser with a controllable AI agent, so you can complete complex web tasks with a single instruction instead of dozens of manual clicks. Key features: 1. AI agent that operates the web for you: Describe your goal in natural language (for example: "Find a 27-inch monitor under $200 with good reviews") and the agent will open sites, search, filter, paginate, click and navigate until the task is done or needs your confirmation. 2. Page AI summary and Q and A: Generate concise summaries of the current page, or ask questions directly about long articles, documentation or research papers. Answers are grounded in the actual page content. 3. Per-site long-term memory: BrowsAI maintains compact long-term memory per domain, so the agent can remember your context and preferences on specific sites across sessions. You can view, edit or delete these memories at any time in Settings > Privacy. 4. Per-tab short-term memory: Within a single tab, the agent keeps lightweight short-term memory so it can follow an ongoing task thread. New tabs or private mode start with a clean slate. 5. Full browser experience: Multi-tab browsing, bookmarks and history, download manager, reader mode, content blocking and private browsing, all built on top of WebKit and SwiftUI for a smooth, native experience. 6. Privacy-aware design: Long-term memories are stored locally per domain and fully user-controlled. Private mode disables memory writing. A backend proxy can be used to keep your LLM API keys off the device. Use cases: - Competitive and market research across multiple sites. - Shopping and travel planning with structured comparisons. - Reading and understanding long-form content with summaries. - Automating repetitive web workflows such as forms, dashboards and reports. • AI automation features include a 3-day free trial. • Full AI access requires an in-app purchase after the trial period.
