BrowserUse

Let Jan Use Your Browser

BrowserUse is a native tool being developed for the Jan ecosystem that will allow the AI to securely control a browser to perform tasks, automate workflows, and interact with websites just like a human would.

Think of it as an integrated, privacy-first automation layer that turns Jan from a conversational AI into a powerful agent for action.

This tool is not yet available. We are designing BrowserUse to be a core component of Jan’s agentic capabilities.

Inspired by the Best

While tools like Browser Use exist for developers, Jan’s BrowserUse will be a built-in, user-friendly feature. No complex setup required—just grant permission and let Jan handle the rest.

Built on MCP

The tool will be implemented as a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server within Jan, ensuring secure and standardized communication between the AI model and the browser. This allows for powerful, auditable, and secure web interactions.

Planned Core Features:

  • Secure Sessions: All browsing activity happens in an isolated, sandboxed environment.
  • Natural Language Control: Simply tell Jan what you want to do (e.g., “Book a flight,” “Research this topic and summarize the top 5 findings,” “Apply for this job for me”).
  • Visual Understanding: Jan will be able to see and interpret the content on pages, not just the underlying code.
  • User in the Loop: Always ask for permission before taking critical actions like submitting forms or making purchases.
