BrowserOS neo

BrowserOS neo is a "second browser" designed for AI agents. Agents use it to complete web tasks with your real logged-in accounts, while your own main browser stays untouched. It is not a headless browser with no login state, nor a cloud browser running on someone else's machine. It is a full browser that runs on your own computer and that you can watch at any time.

According to the official website, BrowserOS neo is the new name for BrowserClaw and is the same project. The old name may still appear in the GitHub repository and in the MCP server name.

Key features

• Reuses your login state: Import your logins from Chrome in one click. Agents use your existing sessions to access sites that require login, such as Gmail, GitHub and X.
• Connects to agents via MCP: Supports Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Zed and more. The website says you can connect with one click, with no config file edits or command line needed. Other MCP-capable tools can connect through a URL.
• Runs multiple agents in parallel: Each agent uses its own tabs. A "cockpit" dashboard on the new tab page shows which site each agent is visiting, which tools it is using and how many steps it has taken.
• Session replay: Every run is saved as a full-screen video with a scrubbable progress bar and an action timeline, making it easy to review and debug errors. The website says all actions are also logged on your local disk.
• Lower token usage: Gives agents a compact page snapshot instead of raw HTML, and supports running actions in batches within a single call.
• Doesn't interrupt your work: Agents only operate in the tabs they open themselves and never touch the tabs you already have open.

Target users and use cases

It suits developers and power users who already use AI tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor and want them to handle web tasks behind a login for them. Use cases listed on the website include posting across multiple platforms, cleaning up your inbox, planning trips, comparison shopping, job hunting and following up on sales leads.

Core strengths

• Privacy first: Session history, screenshots, replays and settings are all stored as files on your local disk, and the website says nothing is uploaded to its own servers.
• Completely free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You need to bring your own AI provider key.
• The website says it is backed by Y Combinator and has more than 13,000 stars on GitHub.

Installation and technical requirements

1. Download the installer from the website. It supports macOS, Windows and Linux x64 (AppImage and DEB packages are provided).
2. When you open it for the first time, it automatically detects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other tools installed on your machine and lets you connect them in one click.
3. Give tasks directly in your agent. When web access is needed, the agent calls BrowserOS neo to do it.

System requirements are the same as for Google Chrome.

Worth noting

• Agents share your login sessions. The website says per-agent profile isolation is still on the roadmap and is not yet available.
• It is a standalone browser and does not depend on the original BrowserOS. The two can be used side by side.
• The website provides an enterprise inquiry channel for team deployments.
• The website's comparison table compares it with agent-browser, Browser Use, Dia, Perplexity Comet and other products. These comparisons are the vendor's own claims.
