A browser-native AI agent harness extension that turns existing browsers into agent workstations with local sandboxes, Linux VMs via WASM, and P2P connectivity.
Market Position
Differentiated from 'AI browsers' (Comet, Atlas) by being an extension for existing browsers, and from 'cloud-automation' (Browserbase) by running entirely client-side with no backend. Unlike terminal agents (Claude Code), it has direct DOM and session access.
