The Open Source Agentic Browser

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building BrowserOS, an open-source browser that runs AI agents locally. It lets users automate and customize their browsing experience through AI that runs on their machines rather than in the cloud.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are located in San Francisco because it connects us to a strong technical community and potential users. The local network helps us stay close to where the consumer and AI ecosystem thrives.
