Work starts
with an AI conversation.
With Amazon open, a user asks in English for search phrases for a travel keyboard. This real CoDriver conversation shows three suggestions with brief explanations.

Useful capabilities
for everyday work.
Use the session you signed into
People and AI work with the same tabs and signed-in session. Reduce the need to prepare the same account again in a separate automation browser.
Read pages and gather information
AI can inspect text, tables, buttons and form fields. Move from a request to organize information into actions on the page.
Separate each area of work
Group tabs and conversations in workspaces. Keep different projects’ pages and conversations from getting mixed together.
Pause agent changes when needed
Stop agent changes in the browser and allow them again after human review. This does not undo actions that have already been submitted.
Keep familiar browser tools
Use tabs, bookmarks, history, downloads and supported extensions alongside AI. Idle tabs can also be put to sleep.
Protection & control
From browsing to AI actions,
protection and control together.
Block risky web requests
Requests to domains on the blocklist are restricted.
Encrypt important stored data
Important internal data, including the password vault and settings, is encrypted when stored.
Your approval for sensitive actions
Sensitive AI actions, such as payments, publishing and account security changes, require your approval.
Connected AI shares your tabs and signed-in session. Review your connection settings and service terms to understand what information may be sent to external AI services.
How it fits your work and what you need
Working with it
Keep AI chat close
to the work on the web.
Parallax Browser puts answers and actions in the same workspace. Assign work and review what happens without separating the conversation from the page.
- Context
Discuss the page you are working on
- Make requests using page information the connected AI can read. Compare results with the original page and ask follow-up questions.
- Organization
Separate workspaces for separate jobs
- Group tabs and conversations by workspace. Additional workspaces can use separate signed-in sessions for different jobs or accounts.
- Control
Inspect activity and stop changes
- Review AI activity and requests for confirmation. A person can stop changes and decide when to allow them again. Actions already completed outside the browser need separate review.
Getting started
Start with one
practical task.
- Platforms
- macOS Apple Silicon · Windows 11 x64. Linux support is best-effort.
- Prepare first
- Prepare an account for your AI service and configure CoDriver or a supported AI connection.
- Installation
- Download and install the release package for your operating system, then set up your AI connection.
The GitHub repository currently requires access permission. The browser is an Apache License 2.0 project; connected AI services have their own accounts and usage costs.
- 01
Open the web in your browser
Prepare the browser using the quick-start guide, then open the site you need and sign in yourself.
- 02
Describe the result in chat
Set up an AI connection, then request the information or action you need on the current page. Be specific about the scope.
- 03
Review and continue
Check the AI response alongside the actual page. Handle steps that need human verification, then continue with your next request.
Use cases
Put it to work.
Research and comparison
Ask AI to organize differences in conditions or descriptions across pages. Check the results against the sources and follow up in chat.
Repeated work in business websites
Ask a connected AI to inspect items or enter information in a signed-in business page, within the site’s permissions and allowed actions.
Website troubleshooting
Inspect a problem page together with AI. Use page content and browser error information to narrow down what went wrong.
How it connects
See how it
fits together.
A person and connected AI work in the same browser. CoDriver chat carries requests and responses, while the browser manages tabs, signed-in sessions and permission to act.

FAQ
A few things
worth knowing.
How is this different from pasting a URL into a chat service?
Parallax makes your actual browser the shared workspace. A connected AI can read the same tab and perform permitted actions, reducing the need to copy page context into another chat window.
Is an AI included automatically?
You need to set up an AI connection to receive responses. macOS offers a bundled CoDriver setup path. Check the project documentation for other platforms and connection requirements.
Can it perform every task on every website?
Available actions depend on the site, login state and permissions. AI can read and interact with pages that have no dedicated integration, but support for every website is not guaranteed.
Does AI handle human verification too?
You handle steps that require personal authentication or human verification. Sharing a signed-in session does not authorize every possible AI action.
Does all information stay on my computer?
The browser and profile run on your computer. Connecting an external AI service may send data needed for your requests to that service. Review the connection settings and service terms.
Are browser and AI service charges the same thing?
No. Parallax Browser is an Apache License 2.0 open-source project developed and maintained by ORASCOPE. Connected AI services and separate components have their own terms and any applicable charges.
