About WebBrain
WebBrain is a free, open-source AI browser agent designed to bring powerful artificial intelligence directly into your web browser's sidebar. Released under the MIT license and developed by Emre Sokullu, WebBrain supports Chromium-based browsers (including Chrome and Microsoft Edge) as well as Firefox, making it a highly accessible productivity tool.
WebBrain puts privacy and choice first. It can be run completely locally on your device using llama.cpp, which means your queries cost nothing and your data never leaves your local machine.

While docked in your browser sidebar, WebBrain reads active web pages, extracts structured data, and automates tasks on your behalf. Additionally, the tool includes a multilingual user interface and supports token-conscious screenshot capturing to streamline operations without wasting API limits.
