Long chats break when the model forgets what you said ten turns ago. Oasis uses optional structured session memory (internal nickname Railroad ) to help follow-ups stay coherent.
Insight for other users: Session memory extracts structured facts across turns and re-injects them into later prompts so the assistant can remember details within your session and plan limits. You do not edit memory by hand. It updates as you chat.
What it is not: Memory is not a full backup of web pages. It is distilled text used to steer replies, not a copy of everything you browsed.
How to work with it:
What’s interesting to me here is that most AI products optimise for answers, while this feels like it’s optimising for continuity. Curious what behaviours surprised you most in beta users, are people treating Oasis more like a browser, a memory system, or almost a second brain?

@surabhi_minocha Hey Surabhi! We're still learning all the time right now. The behaviors are developing in real-time. I think we're seeing people enjoy treating it like "Jarvis" from the Iron Man movies. I found myself up late half-watching TV and snacking while I was doing some vibe coding. Then I needed to check on a deployment in Github. Rather than click around, I just realized I could say "Hey Oasis can you open Github workflow tab?"
And then it did it.
After that, I said "Can you summarize the results of the workflow?"
And it did that!
For me and others, we are finding that the ability to use natural language and voice to control the browser lets us stay focused more and reduce mental context switching and cognitive load.
I'm not sure what this would qualify as, I suppose a combination of all of it!
wait does this connect to my ollama or how does it stay local?
Oasis Browser
@sarveshsea It doesn't connect to Ollama yet, but that's definitely something we're interested in doing. Could you elaborate more on how you feel about running local models with Ollama in this context. What models might you use? What types of workflows would you have in mind?
"The browser should learn you, not the other way around" is exactly the shift I've been hoping for!
Quick question as I test Oasis today: When training the AI on my workflows, how does the anonymization layer work in practice? For example, if I correct it on a research task, does that feedback stay local to my instance, or is it used (anonymously) to improve the model broadly? Am asking as someone who writes about privacy-first tools and wants to understand the tradeoffs clearly.
Am excited to spend the next 10 minutes with it and report back what felt different. Thanks for building this refuge.
Unable to even check the website. No clickable button is working

@prashant_kumar_1992 I'm sorry to hear that you're running into issues. Are you referring to this website? https://kahana.co/
If you could please elaborate more on where you clicked or specific URLs you're on where buttons aren't working, that would be very helpful!
Thank you in advance for your help and support.

I’ve been using Oasis for around 4 months now, so this is not a “looks cool, congrats” comment. I’ve actually had enough time with it to know where it fits in my day.
The simplest way I can describe it: Oasis makes browser search feel less annoying. I don’t always remember the exact website, tab, article, doc, or thing I opened earlier, but I usually remember the context. Before Oasis, I would waste time digging through history, bookmarks, random tabs, or trying different search terms on Google. With Oasis, I can search more naturally and get back to what I was looking for much faster.
What I like most is that it does not feel like a heavy new workflow. It sits close to how I already use the browser. That matters a lot, because most AI tools sound useful but then ask you to change your habits completely. Oasis feels more practical than that.
It has been especially useful when I am researching, comparing things, reading a lot of pages, or coming back to something I saw a few days ago but cannot remember exactly. That happens way more often than people admit.
Also, the product feels built around a real user problem, not just “AI added to search” for the sake of it. Browser search and history are still surprisingly bad for how much time we spend online. Oasis is solving that in a way that feels simple and useful.
Congrats to the team on the launch. I’ve enjoyed using it so far and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
Oasis Browser
One thing I genuinely appreciate about Oasis is that it feels like it was designed to help me work, not compete for my attention. The zero ads part makes a bigger difference than I expected because there’s so much less visual noise pulling me in different directions.
I also get distracted pretty easily, and the overall aesthetic feels calm and intentional rather than overwhelming. It actually helps me stay aligned with what I’m supposed to be doing instead of opening 10 tabs and forgetting why I opened them in the first place..
Feels like a browser built to support focus, not distract from it..

@akansha888 thank you so much for sharing this genuine feedback about Oasis, Akansha. We hate Ad Nauseam, and we are thrilled you feel like Oasis helps you focus and stay aligned. If you have any suggestions for us to double down on this or add new features to help you focus and do deep work in new ways, please let us know! You have no idea how much we appreciation your trying it out, and that you feel this way feels like a miracle to the engineering and product teams :)

Super excited for launch of Oasis. I’ve worked on this browser from the very beginning, and seeing it reach Product Hunt is a really proud moment.
We set out to build a browser that feels different: no ads, privacy-first by design, and AI-powered ergonomics that help users browse more comfortably and intelligently without adding unnecessary noise.
This has been a product shaped by a simple belief: the browser should work for the user, not against them. Can’t wait for people to try Oasis and hear what they think.

@aj0671 You know more than anyone how much work has gone into this, and it's an honor to go to war with you today, Atharva. I just wanted to take a moment here and thank you for all that you've done for Oasis, from hooking up wires, to refreshing the most obscure ui and branding assets, to building the next wave of privacy-first ai features in browsing. You're a great engineer, and I'm so proud to work alongside you and have this moment where we can showcase all that we've poured in.
