AI Browser Assistant
Comet, Brave Leo, and Gemini in Chrome promise an AI browser assistant—but most stop at chat. Tabbit is an AI-native browser where your assistant reads @ multi-tab context, drafts research, and executes tasks in a parallel Agent lane—free on macOS and Windows.

Where today’s AI browser assistants land
Most results are chat layers. Tabbit targets Tier 3–4: research plus execution in one free browser.
Comet (Perplexity)
Tier 2–3Strength: Personal assistant branding, task automation pitch
Gap: Limited public detail on multi-tab @ context and parallel execution
Brave Leo
Tier 1Strength: Privacy-first in-page Q&A
Gap: No Agent lane or multi-tab research workspace
Gemini in Chrome
Tier 2Strength: Page gist, compare, light Auto Browse
Gap: Chrome-only, Google account, weak cross-tab grounding
HARPA & extensions
Tier 1–2Strength: Summaries on any site you visit
Gap: Extension friction, API keys, brittle automation
Tabbit — Tier 1–4 in one free AI-native browser

Assistant vs extension
Why Tabbit is a fuller AI browser assistant
Extensions and built-in chat solve Tier 1–2. Tabbit covers the full ladder.
| Capability | Typical assistant | Tabbit Tabbit |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-tab @ context | Single page or none | Tabs, groups, files, screenshots |
| Executes clicks & forms | Rare / brittle | Agent Mode in background lane |
| Parallel browsing | Blocks or overlays current tab | Isolated Agent tag group |
| API keys required | Often yes (extensions) | Integrated models—free in beta |
| Vertical workspaces | N/A | Built-in tab groups + Omnibox |
| Skills / repeatable flows | Manual prompts | / shortcuts + Skills plaza |

FAQ
AI browser assistant questions
An AI browser assistant is AI embedded in the browser—not a separate chat app—so it can read pages you open, answer in context, and optionally execute tasks. Tabbit extends this with @ multi-tab grounding and Agent execution.
