2025Citro Labs develops ego, a personal AI agent, and ego (lite), an open-source agent browser.
Citro Labs develops two related products. ego is a personal AI agent that the company describes as operating across the user's browser, desktop, and phone, running multiple tasks in parallel around the clock, and returning finished files rather than chat replies. ego (lite), available free at lite.ego.app, is a Chromium-based browser built so that external AI agents can run web automation inside it.
In ego (lite), agents work in isolated 'Spaces' that inherit the user's Chrome login state, and browser actions are exposed to any agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others — as JavaScript functions through the ego-browser skill, with a one-click Chrome profile migration. ego is positioned as a 24/7 agent with persistent multi-layer memory, currently distributed through a waitlist with macOS as the first platform.
The company states that ego (lite) runs agent automation as JavaScript executed in a single pass rather than one tool call at a time, and it cites internal benchmarks in which a sample scraping task finished in 81.8 seconds versus 282.9 seconds for Vercel's agent-browser, up to 3.45x faster on fewer tokens. Its semantic snapshot engine, built into a custom Chromium base, is claimed to reach cross-origin iframes and shadow DOM where HTML-scraping shims fail.
Third-party write-ups from July and August 2026 describe ego (lite) as the only option that serves as both a daily browser and a target for external agents, citing parallel isolated Spaces, inherited Chrome logins, and one-click profile migration. For the main ego product, the company separately positions 24/7 cloud execution and multi-layer persistent memory as advantages over tab-scoped AI browsers such as ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet; these performance figures are company-provided or company-cited and have not been independently replicated.
ego (lite) is distributed free under the MIT license with no subscription or usage limits; the company's homepage states 'zero cost, zero config' and the macOS download is offered without payment. An enterprise page is linked from the product navigation, but no enterprise pricing or terms are published there.
The main ego product is pre-launch and access is gated behind a waitlist. The site's FAQ states that ego is paid for by subscription rather than advertising or data monetization, and that user data is not sold or used to train models, but no price tiers or amounts had been published as of 2026-08-26.
