  Browy is a Chrome extension that drives your browser through chat. Open the side panel or the DevTools panel, type what you want, and Browy clicks through pages, fills forms, runs JavaScript, and reads network and console output for you.
  
  
  IN YOUR BROWSER
  
  Chat with Browy from the side panel while you browse. Drag the mascot anywhere on the page when you want it out of the way.
  
  - Summarize pages and pull out specific information
  - Navigate, click, type, and fill forms across multiple tabs
  - Run multi-step workflows that span tabs and reload pages
  - Evaluate JavaScript in the page from a chat prompt
  - Read network requests and console output without opening DevTools
  
  
  FOR DEVELOPERS
  
  A REPL lives next to your inspector in the DevTools panel. Terminal-style, no chat bubbles.
  
  - Slash commands: /help, /model, /clear, /login, /js
  - 19 frontier models on a live picker (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, GPT-5 family, Codex)
  - Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+L to clear, Esc to cancel a run)
  - /js evaluates page-context JavaScript and pipes the result back into the conversation
  
  If you spend time in `gh copilot` or `claude code`, this fits.
  
  
  YOU ARE IN CONTROL
  
  - Pick which Chrome tools the agent can use, per tool, in Settings. 41 built-in tools grouped by inspect, navigate, interact, devtools.
  - Host-side tools (shell, filesystem) are off by default and opt in per tool. Browy will not touch your machine outside the browser unless you flip the toggle.
  - Chrome's debugger disclosure banner shows whenever a session is active, so you always know when Browy is driving.
  - No background crawling. Browy only acts on the tab you point it at.
  
  
  OPEN SOURCE
  
  Apache 2.0. Audit the agent loop, fork it, swap models.

  Browy is a Chrome extension that drives your browser through chat.
  Open the side panel or the DevTools panel, type what you want, and
  Browy clicks through pages, fills forms, runs JavaScript, and reads
  network and console output for you.
  
  
  IN YOUR BROWSER
  
  The side panel sits next to your tabs and stays quiet until you
  ask it to do something.
  
  - Summarize a page and pull out specific information
  - Navigate, click, type, and fill forms across multiple tabs
  - Run multi-step workflows that span tabs and reload pages
  - Run JavaScript in the page from a chat prompt
  - Read network requests and console output without opening DevTools
  
  
  FOR DEVELOPERS
  
  A terminal-style REPL lives next to the inspector in the DevTools
  panel.
  
  - Slash commands: /help, /model, /clear, /login, /js
  - A live model picker covers the frontier Copilot models (Claude
    Opus, Sonnet, Haiku; GPT-5 family; Codex; and more)
  - Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+L to clear, Esc to cancel a run)
  - /js evaluates page-context JavaScript and pipes the result back
    into the conversation
  
  If you live in `gh copilot` or `claude code`, this should feel familiar.
  
  
  YOU ARE IN CONTROL
  
  - Turn individual browser tools on or off in Settings. The 30+
    built-in tools are grouped by inspect, navigate, interact, and
    devtools.
  - Host-side tools (shell, filesystem, web fetch) are off by default.
    Enable them one at a time. Browy does not touch your machine
    outside the browser unless you opt in.
  - Chrome's debugger disclosure banner shows whenever a session is
    active. You always know when Browy is driving.
  - No background crawling. Browy only acts on the tab you point it at.
  
  
  OPEN SOURCE
  
  Apache 2.0. Audit the agent loop, fork it, change the prompts.

  REQUIREMENTS
  
  - A GitHub Copilot subscription
  - Chrome, Edge, or Brave on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  - Browy ships in two parts: this extension plus a small native
    messaging host that runs on your machine and talks to Copilot.
    Step 3 above installs the host with one command.
