What is oc?

oc lets AI agents browse the web in hundreds of tokens instead of tens of thousands by turning any website into a compact, markdown-first CLI. It is open-source, runs locally, and fits into agent workflows that need to read sites without loading full browser pages.

Pros

  • Massively reduces token use when agents browse
  • Open-source and self-hosted
  • Works with existing CLI agents

Cons

  • Requires command-line comfort
  • Not a full visual browser

Who should use oc

Developers and agent builders who want agents to read websites cheaply.

Who may not need it

Users who need a traditional point-and-click browser experience.
