Your Logins, Their Own Tab: ego-lite
ego-lite gives every AI agent its own browser space inside your real Chrome session — so it uses your logins without ever touching your tabs.
The small problem nobody talks about
When an AI agent needs to browse the web on your behalf — checking your inbox, filling a form, pulling a report from a tool you're subscribed to — it usually hits a wall. The page asks it to log in. And the agent has no memory of ever having logged in anywhere.
So either it fails quietly, or it hijacks your actual browser and starts moving your tabs around while you're trying to work. Neither is great.
What ego-lite does differently
It's a browser — based on Chromium, the same engine behind Chrome — that lets you and your AI agents share the same logged-in sessions. Each agent gets its own private "Space": its own window, its own history, completely separate from yours. But underneath, it inherits all your real cookies and logins.
Your agent can navigate a client portal, take a screenshot of a dashboard, or submit a form — as you, with your credentials — while you're reading a different page entirely, unbothered.
The first time you open it, it asks if you want to bring over your existing Chrome profile. That's about as complicated as it gets.
Why this matters if you run a business
A lot of the most useful things you'd want an AI agent to do — check a supplier's order status, grab a report from your accounting tool, review something behind a paywall — require being logged in. Until now, that was the part that broke. ego-lite is the piece that was missing.
Words worth knowing
Headless browser — A browser with no visible screen. Agents use these to load pages automatically, but they're often logged out of everything.
Session / Cookie — A small file your browser keeps after you log in somewhere, so the site remembers you. ego-lite shares these with your agents.
SSO (Single Sign-On) — When one login (like Google) gets you into many different tools. These are notoriously hard for agents to get past. ego-lite sidesteps the problem entirely.
Chromium — The open-source engine that powers Google Chrome, Edge, and many others. ego-lite is built on top of it.
If you've ever tried to automate something and been told "it can't access that page," this is probably why — and ego-lite is worth a look: https://github.com/citrolabs/ego-lite
