WebBrain: A Browser AI Agent That Runs Without the Cloud

It has two modes: Ask analyzes the content of a page on request, while Act automates actions such as clicks, form filling and multi-step workflows. Its key feature is local execution through llama.cpp or Ollama, so data does not leave your device. Cloud APIs are also supported. WebBrain is released under the MIT license and is free.
