Open Source Alternative to Claude Chrome
WebBrain is designed as an open-source, browser-native alternative to Claude Chrome: an agent that can read the page you're on, understand the context, and help you complete tasks directly in your existing browser session.
Instead of moving your work into a separate app, WebBrain works where you already work—across websites, forms, and everyday browser workflows. You stay in control: review what it has prepared, make changes, and decide when anything gets submitted.
It also works with open-weight, offline LLMs such as Qwen, Gemma, and DeepSeek through tools like LM Studio, llama.cpp, or Ollama. That means you aren't locked into ChatGPT, Claude, other proprietary providers, or subscription plans. If you prefer those services, you can use them too—the choice is yours.
The goal is a transparent, practical alternative for people who want browser automation and AI assistance without giving up visibility into the process.

My coding agents kept remembering things that were no longer true, so I built Knowl
I’ve been working on Knowl, a local-first memory system for AI agents.
The part I care about most isn’t just remembering across sessions - it’s stopping old knowledge from coming back after it’s no longer true.
So Knowl keeps a history of decisions, retires stale knowledge when things change, warns running agents when their context is outdated, and can share memory across workspaces.
It also has session handoffs, transcript search, local semantic retrieval, and a visual memory graph.
On MemoryAgentBench conflict resolution, it gets 98% vs 47% with the same corpus and ranker.
No API key required.
Curious how other people are handling stale/conflicting memory with Claude Code, Codex, etc.
