I tested every AI browser extension. Then I built one that makes them all pointless.
Everyone told us the AI browser extension space was crowded.
They were right. It's crowded with half-products.
Most do one trick, summarize a page, manage your tabs, maybe fill a form. That's it. You still need 5 other tools to actually get work done.
We got tired of it. So we built Lyto.
Here's what it actually does:
→ It sees your screen and acts on it
Not summarizes. Not suggests. Clicks, scrolls, fills forms, and navigates any page, on its own.
→ It builds Google Sheets and Docs from scratch
"Make me a competitor pricing table with graphs." It opens the tabs, pulls the data, formats the sheet, builds the charts. You just watch.
→ It runs WhatsApp & Telegram like a personal assistant
Broadcast to 50 contacts at once. Send follow-ups with Word docs attached. Message from your phone, get a finished file back. Nobody else does this.
→ It monitors pages and pushes you alerts
Price dropped? Ticket available? Competitor updated their pricing? Lyto catches it before you think to check.
→ It connects your entire stack
Gmail. Slack. GitHub. Figma. Notion. It doesn't just open them, it works inside them.
We're not a tab manager with AI on top.
We're not a sidebar chatbot.
We're the first extension that actually does the work.
And we're just getting started.
Lyto CLI is coming.
This isn't just terminal commands for your browser.
This is Jarvis.
Schedule it to wake up at 7am, open Chrome, log into Instagram, and post the reel you prepped the night before. Tell it once, it runs forever.
Need to send files from your Mac to your phone? Done.
Need it to log into three platforms, pull reports, and compile everything into one sheet before your 9am standup? Done.
Need it to post, email, message, and file, all while you sleep? Done.
Every task you repeat. Every workflow you do manually. Every thing you forget.
You tell Lyto once. It handles it on a schedule, forever.
We're not building another automation tool.
We're building the assistant that actually lives on your machine.
If you're stitching together 5 tools to do what one Lyto prompt handles, this is your sign.

Interesting direction.
I think the real value isn't having more AI features, it's reducing the number of tools people have to switch between.
Lyto
@hosseinyazdi 100% agree and that's exactly what we kept coming back to while building this.
The problem was never that people needed smarter tools. It was that they were constantly switching between them, losing context, copy pasting between tabs, rebuilding the same information in three different places.
Lyto isn't trying to be the most powerful AI. It's trying to be the last tab you need to open. Everything lives in one place, it knows what's on your screen, and it just handles it.
The fewer tools you're juggling, the more you can actually think. That's the whole bet.
the "wake up at 7am, log into Instagram, post the reel" example is the part that gives me pause rather than the part that sells me. that means the extension is holding session state or credentials for scheduled unattended logins across multiple platforms. what's the blast radius if the extension itself or your infra gets compromised - is it storing actual login sessions per site, or is there some scoped/revocable token model per integration? "it works inside your entire stack while you sleep" is exactly the feature I'd want the most security detail on before trusting it
Lyto
@omri_ben_shoham1 Really fair point and exactly the kind of question we want people asking before they trust something like this.
The scheduled automation runs through the user's own Chrome session. Lyto doesn't store credentials or hold login state anywhere on our infrastructure. It operates your browser the same way you would, using the session that's already active on your machine. Nothing gets extracted or sent to our servers.
The CLI we're building follows the same principle. Local first. Your sessions stay on your device. We're not sitting in the middle holding keys to your accounts.
You're right that "works inside your stack while you sleep" carries real responsibility and we don't take that lightly. We're building in clear action logs so you always see exactly what Lyto did and when, and you can kill any scheduled task instantly.
On the blast radius question, if Lyto were compromised, an attacker could operate your browser as you. That's serious and we're honest about it. But what they wouldn't find is a database of your credentials, because we never touch them in the first place.
This is exactly the conversation worth having before anyone puts a tool like this into their workflow. Happy to go deeper on the architecture if you want.
