What is Ego Lite?

Ego Lite is an open-source browser built specifically for AI agents. It lets tools like Codex or Claude Code operate inside your logged-in browser session — running automation, clicking, navigating and scraping on your behalf — while keeping your own main browser free for your work. It is zero cost, zero config and MIT licensed.

Pros

  • Lets AI agents reuse your logged-in session without taking over your main browser
  • Open source and free with no configuration required
  • Built for popular coding agents like Codex and Claude Code

Cons

  • Early-stage project; some workflows may need community support
  • Requires comfort letting an agent drive a browser session

Who should use Ego Lite

Developers, automation builders and AI-coding teams who want a dedicated, shareable browser for agents to run web automation securely.

Who may not need it

Users who only need occasional, simple browser automation and prefer not to share logged-in sessions with an agent.
