peerd runs AI agents inside your existing browser
peerd is an AI agent tool that works as a for Chrome and Firefox. It can read and control the tabs and sessions you already use, without installing a separate AI browser or running another local helper process. Users bring their own API key for providers such as Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Ollama, and the project says there is no backend, telemetry, or cloud service in the data path.
Keys, , and audit logs are stored in an encrypted local vault on the device. peerd can create sandboxed work areas inside the browser for JavaScript jobs, visual notebooks, small client-side apps, and Linux running through WebAssembly. A preview channel also includes sharing between peerd instances for things the agent builds.
The project is still a 0.x beta, and the main install path is loading the source folder directly into the browser for early testing. Its safety model tries to keep raw web pages away from the agent that holds keys, and it checks actions against the live page before treating them as done.
