Nanobrowser is an open-source Chrome extension that provides AI-powered web automation through a multi-agent system (Planner, Navigator, etc.) running locally in the browser. Users supply their own LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, and OpenAI-compatible providers), making it a free alternative to OpenAI Operator.

Use cases

  • automate repetitive tasks across websites with an ai agent
  • free alternative to openai operator for browser automation
  • run multi-agent web workflows with my own llm api key
  • have an ai fill forms and navigate websites for me
  • automate web tasks locally without sending data to the cloud
  • use claude or gemini to control my browser
  • scrape and summarize web pages with an ai agent

When to choose

  • you want a free, open-source browser agent and already have LLM API keys
  • privacy matters - automation runs locally in your Chrome browser
  • you want to pick different models for different agent roles
  • you need a Chrome Web Store-installable alternative to OpenAI Operator

When to avoid

  • you need automation in browsers other than Chrome/Chromium
  • you want a fully hosted solution with no API key setup
  • you need headless or server-side browser automation rather than in-browser
  • your workflow requires providers not yet supported
