Ego Browser: give the agent a workspace, then check its work

Description and use

Ego Browser lets an agent work in an isolated Space, keeping the user’s context clean. The agent performs tasks, captures snapshots, verifies outcomes, and documents sources and uncertainties.

Problem

Separating an agent’s browsing context from the human’s to avoid clutter and unintended interactions.

Outcome

Agents can perform focused, read‑only or controlled tasks in isolated spaces, producing verifiable tables and screenshots while keeping the human’s browsing context clean.

Workflow

• Create a task space with a persistent ID
• Assign page labels within the space
• Navigate the agent to target URLs
• Perform actions (click, fill, screenshot)
• Capture structured snapshots and screenshots
• Verify post-action state (e.g., navigation, form values, persistence)
• Document source URLs and uncertainties in a table
• Close or reuse the space for subsequent rounds

Evidence

An agent gets its own browser space while the human keeps their own browsing context.

Source

The agent can use structured page snapshots, navigate, click, fill controls and capture screenshots.

Source

After navigation, check the destination. After filling a field, check its value. After an authorized save, reload and check that the result persisted.
