About nanobrowser
nanobrowser/nanobrowser
Open-Source Chrome extension for AI-powered web automation. Run multi-agent workflows using your own LLM API key. Alternative to OpenAI Operator.
Built on a **multi-agent architecture** with specialized Navigator and Planner agents that communicate to handle complex web tasks, the extension supports flexible LLM provider integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible APIs) allowing per-agent model assignment for cost optimization. Executes entirely within your browser using Chrome's extension APIs with real-time conversation history and follow-up question capabilities, eliminating cloud dependencies while maintaining full local privacy.
