Citro Labs launches ego lite, a browser built for AI agents

Citro Labs frames ego lite as an answer to a gap left by faster code generation: the manual work of opening a browser, logging in to staging, searching, and moving between screens. While coding agents can write code, many follow-up tasks live behind a GUI and a login, so the company wanted a browser where the user can hand off the next step rather than build a separate agent environment. Its design separates workspace and control rights by task through Spaces, and initial setup can migrate browser data from Chrome and similar browsers.

The Snapshot feature reflects a second design choice: rather than feeding the agent raw HTML, ego lite returns structured text describing roles and names of buttons, links, and inputs, while reserving DOM extraction and screenshots for cases like collecting table rows or checking a chart's appearance. Execution is split as well, with known steps batched into a single script and observation repeated at branch points. The company says its own team first used it for checking freshly implemented screens, and it is aiming the browser at non-developers who can describe what they want verified in natural language.
