AntColony has a real Chromium browser inside the app. Your ants open pages, read them, type, click and scroll in their own tabs, all logged in with one shared session, and you watch every step live in the side panel.
Every click, in plain sight.
A honey cursor glides to whatever the ant is about to click or type into, with a label saying what it's doing. It runs in an isolated world, so the site can't see it.
Watch an ant shop for a lamp. When it reaches , the lamp on the control box blinks and the ant waits. You can or . When it reaches the , it's refused outright.
Need to solve a CAPTCHA or fix something yourself? (⌘⇧D). That ant's actions are refused until you hand it back.
A browser built for a team of agents.
One session for the colony
Log in once and every ant is logged in. Cookies and site data are kept on disk and survive restarts.
A tab set per ant
Each ant browses in its own tabs, so ants work in parallel. The one you're watching rises into the side panel.
A real browser for you too
Tabs, back and forward, an address bar, favicons and the usual shortcuts: ⌘T, ⌘W, ⌘L, ⌘R and Ctrl-Tab.
Allowed sites
Enforced before any page or frame loads. A link off the list is stopped, the tab stays put, and the ant is told why.
Activity you can read
Every navigation, block, action, confirmation and denial is logged. Ant steps appear in the run's Activity tab.
Downloads in one place
Files the ants download land in ~/Downloads/AntColony.
What it won't do.
CAPTCHAs are yours. Ants stop and hand bot checks to you; they never try to get around them.
Some sign-ins refuse embedded browsers, notably Google. Use a connector for those instead.
Sites with session-only cookies, like some banks and company single sign-on, log you out on restart, exactly like Chrome without “Continue where you left off”.
Browsing costs more than chatting. Each browser step is a model turn on your own key.
Questions
Can the AI agents log in to sites for me?
You log in once yourself, in the colony's browser, and every ant shares that session. Ants never type passwords: reading a page hides password fields, and an ant that meets a login asks you to take the wheel.
What counts as a risky click?
Clicks on things like send, pay, delete, post and submit, and form submissions. They wait in the side panel until you allow or deny them.
Can ants visit any website?
No. The colony has a saved list of allowed sites, enforced before any page or frame loads. When an ant reaches for a new site, you're asked first; a yes adds it to the list.
Does it work with Chrome extensions?
Yes, page-level extensions from the Chrome Web Store work in the colony's browser and update themselves. Only you can add them, never an ant. Extensions that rely on Chrome-only toolbar features may be partly limited.
