01
Keyword matching, not answers
You scan ten results, open six tabs, and still assemble the answer yourself.
AI SEARCH BROWSER · 2026
A browser with AI search that reads the whole web for you
Stop typing keywords into ten blue links. Tabbit's Omnibox answers questions using live web data, your open tabs, screenshots, PDFs, and files — then switches to Agent Mode to finish the job.
AI search: latest market share
THE OLD SEARCH PROBLEM
Why today's search still feels like 2005
Classic search gives you a page of links and leaves the reading to you. AI chatbots know answers but miss what is already open on your screen.
02
Search and tabs are disconnected
Your current project tabs, local PDFs, and screenshots never make it into the search box.
03
Answers do not execute
Even when you find a good summary, you still copy, switch apps, and click through forms manually.
HOW IT WORKS
Search the web in four steps
Tabbit turns the address bar into an AI search engine that understands your whole workspace.
1
Ask in the Omnibox
Type a question where you would normally type keywords. Tabbit searches the live web and your open workspace.
2
@-reference anything
Pull in the current tab, a tab group, a screenshot, a bookmark, or a local file as context.
3
Pick the right model
Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and others for the best answer.
4
Search or delegate
Get a synthesized answer instantly, or switch to Agent Mode and let the browser run the task in an isolated tab group.
WHY TABBIT
Built around search, context, and action
A browser with AI search should do more than return text. It should understand your workspace and act on it.
AI-first search
The Omnibox answers questions from live web sources instead of dumping a list of links.
Cross-tab context
Reference any tab, group, screenshot, PDF, or local file with a single @ mention.
Multi-model choice
Use the model that fits the task — GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and more.
Agent Mode execution
Let the browser research, compare, fill forms, and complete workflows while you review.
Vertical tabs + workspaces
AI groups your tabs into focused workspaces so research stays organized.
Permanent knowledge base
Bookmarks are saved forever and searchable by AI, even if the original page goes down.

FAQ
Common questions about browsers with AI search
What is a browser with AI search?+
It is a web browser with a built-in AI that answers questions using live web sources, page context, and sometimes your local files — instead of just returning a list of links.
Is there a free browser with AI search?+
Yes. Tabbit, Perplexity Comet, Brave Leo, and Edge Copilot all offer free AI search. Tabbit is free during its public beta and supports more models and deeper workspace context than most alternatives.
Which browser has the best AI search?+
For quick web answers, Perplexity and Brave work well. For research that uses your open tabs, local files, and agentic execution, Tabbit is stronger because the browser is built around context and action.
Can an AI search browser use my open tabs as context?+
Yes. In Tabbit you can @-reference the current tab, a group of tabs, a screenshot, a bookmark, or a local file so the AI answers from that exact context.
How is Tabbit different from Perplexity Comet or Edge Copilot?+
Perplexity focuses on conversational web search. Edge Copilot ties into Microsoft's ecosystem. Tabbit rebuilds the browser around AI search: the Omnibox, tab groups, bookmarks, and Agent Mode all share one workspace.
Is AI search in a browser safe for work accounts?+
Treat it like any privileged tool. Tabbit uses isolated tab groups for Agent Mode and human checkpoints on sensitive pages, but you should still review permissions before connecting SSO or finance tools.
Does Tabbit support Windows 11?+
Yes. Tabbit runs on macOS 12+ and Windows 10/11. Download from the official site for your region.
Which official Tabbit site should I use?+
International users should visit tabbitbrowser.com; mainland China users should visit tabbit-ai.com.
