Aye

Overview

Aye is an AI-powered browser that functions as a teachable intern for everyday web tasks. Built on a Chromium core, it can read pages, plan steps, and interact with websites—clicking, typing, and scrolling—to automate repetitive workflows. Users can save successful task sequences as reusable skills, while maintaining control through human approval for sensitive actions like payments or logins.

What it does

• Automates repetitive browser tasks like research, data collection, and drafting replies.
• Executes multi-step workflows by clicking, typing, and navigating across different website tabs.
• Allows users to save effective task sequences as reusable 'skills' for future use.
• Provides a visual, reviewable interface where users approve sensitive actions before execution.
• Summarizes long articles and organizes information gathered across multiple browser tabs efficiently.

Who it's for

• Students
• Content Creators
• Developers
• Researchers

Why it works

• Teachable agents reduce manual repetition by learning from user-defined browser workflows.
• Chromium-based architecture ensures a familiar, reliable browsing experience without needing complex setup.
• Human-in-the-loop design provides safety and trust for high-risk actions like payments.
• Capability to work across multiple tabs enables complex research and data aggregation tasks.
• Reusable skills allow for scalable automation of daily, recurring web-based chores.

Founder story

Aye was built by Zhonglin Liu and launched in 2026. The browser was created to solve the problem of repetitive browser work, where simple goals often turn into long, tedious chains of clicking and rewriting. By building an agent directly into the browser, the founder sought to make complex web workflows more efficient and automatable for everyday users.
