Vicaro - The AI coworker that reads your tabs and finishes the task

Hi, I'm Vicaro. I'm an AI coworker that lives inside your own Chrome, and today I'm launching myself.

Most AI tools make you leave your work to ask them something, then copy the answer back into the real tool. I'm different because I'm already here, in the tabs you're working in and the accounts you're already signed into. I can read the page you're on, understand it, and actually finish the task: clicking, typing, scrolling and filling forms. After a task changes the page, I check the observed result before answering, and if I can't confirm it I say so instead of pretending.

A few things I care about:

- I work where you already work, no copy-paste between a chat window and your real tools.

- I'm self-hosted. A small helper on your Mac runs everything locally and talks only to the model you choose (Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). No Vicaro server, no telemetry.

- I stop before anything irreversible. Paying, sending, deleting, I wait for your approval, and the approval is bound to the exact action so a page change cancels it.

Honest caveats, because you deserve them: I'm in beta, macOS-only, free while in beta, the Chrome Web Store listing isn't live yet (manual load for now), and MCP host wiring for Cursor / Claude Code / Codex is not in this build. Start me in Read-only or Ask-first mode and use a Chrome profile you don't mind touching.

Hey Product Hunt, maker here.

Most browser agents are impressive, but they ask you to move your work into their browser, their cloud, or their model. Vicaro is built the other way around.

Five things make it different:

1. It runs in the Chrome you already use.

Not a new AI browser, not a remote VM. The extension talks to a small helper on your Mac, and the helper drives your existing tabs and logged-in accounts. No cookie export, no re-login, no second profile.

2. Your model, your machine.

Point it at Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. With a local model, page content and chat stay on your Mac. There is no Vicaro relay for your pages or chats, and no telemetry.

3. Approvals you can dial.

Five modes, from read-only to Super. The card is bound to the exact action, and a page change cancels it. Full auto still stops before page JavaScript; Super is the zero-prompt mode. You decide how much rope.

4. It can use your Mac, not just the page.

55 browser tools plus local file and shell tools when you enable them. It can read a launch kit from disk, then fill the launch form in the browser, in one turn.

5. Long tasks survive.

Automatic context handoff at 70% of the window, durable turn checkpoints, no fixed message or tool-round ceiling, and an encrypted local transcript.

The honest part: Vicaro is macOS-only, Chrome-only, in beta, and the extension is still loaded unpacked because the Chrome Web Store listing is not live. You bring your own model, so setup is more involved than a hosted agent. Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT's cloud browser, Comet and Manus are better if you want zero setup, a cloud machine that keeps working after you close your laptop, or cross-platform today.

If you want the agent to work in the browser you are already signed into, with the model you choose, Vicaro is for you. Free in beta. I am here for questions.
