Sharing a project I maintain. WebBrain puts an agent in the browser side panel: it can summarize/answer questions about the current page, extract tables and lists, fill forms, and navigate, using whichever model you configure (llama.cpp/Ollama/LM Studio locally, or any OpenAI-compatible API).

Some things that might interest people here:

  • Plain vanilla JS, same codebase shipped for Chrome and Firefox
  • Works with small local models: context trimming, a compact prompt mode, and a narrow tool set
  • New MCP server, so Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode can use your real signed-in browser via the extension

Contributions welcome, especially site adapters and bug reports with a URL + the task that failed.

    Guys, I am talking to all the zealots people who loudly open their mouths to talk down anything referring to AI.

    AI is here to stay. Like cars after horses. Like guns after swords. Like h-bombs after mortars. The sooner we regulate it, learn how to use it ethically and safely the better.

    Just asking for it to be deleted or forgotten has never worked in human history and never will. As well as blindly criticizing whoever uses it for any reason has never worked out and, again, won’t work.

    Let’s regulate it. Let’s fight for an ethical use instead.

      What type of people own the ai companies?

      What type of people are pushing ai?

      What type of people are approving the ‘data centres’?

      You can have your opinion ai bro, but that is all it is

      Using guns and hydrogen bombs as suggestions of positive progress, then using the word ethical, smh.

        I think your personal bias is obfuscating your understanding of my post.

        Are you assuming cars are a positive development unlikely bombs or guns? None of them are. I was not making positive examples, exactly as I am not defending AI as it stands today.

        You got it all heads and tails my friend. Go read it again.

        what happens when these companies are seized by the people? you are opposing a company, that’s fine, but another thing is opposing the technology, built by workers and expropriated by the bourgeoisie. who owned the rail companies? what kind of people pushed for rail infrastructure?

        one day techonology will advance and it will not require vast ammounts of water, energy to run these things, they will be owned and trained by the people. what will be your opposition to it then? you’re literally getting butthurt over a calculator bro, take it easy.
