Browserfly Goes All-In on BYOK
Browserfly now runs exclusively on your own API keys. No subscriptions, no credits, no accounts. Your AI, your data, your control.
Browserfly is going all-in on BYOK (Bring Your Own Key).
We're retiring our built-in AI service. No more credits. No more subscriptions. No more accounts. From now on, you bring your own API key and connect directly to the AI provider of your choice.
This is a fundamental shift in how Browserfly works — and we think you'll like it.
What Changes
Your Models, Your Choice
Connect Browserfly to any AI provider:
- OpenAI — GPT-4, GPT-4o, o1, o3
- Anthropic — Claude 3.5, Claude 4
- Local models — Ollama, LM Studio
- OpenRouter — access to hundreds of models
- Any OpenAI-compatible API
Switch between models based on your task. Use Claude for writing, GPT-4 for reasoning, a local model for sensitive data. The choice is yours.
No Middleman
The extension is free. You pay your AI provider directly — no markup, no hidden fees, no monthly commitment.
Have an OpenAI key sitting unused? Plug it in and start. Already paying for Claude? Use it here too.
Zero Server Processing
Your messages go straight to your AI provider. We never see them, store them, or process them.
- No data logging on our infrastructure
- No conversations stored in our databases
- Full compliance with strict data policies
- Your API key stays local in your browser
No Account Required
Install. Add your key. Start chatting.
We removed the signup flow entirely. No email verification. No password to forget. No friction between you and a working AI assistant.
What's Paused
Image upload is temporarily unavailable.
Image processing required server infrastructure we're no longer using. We're building a fully local solution — one that keeps your images private by default. We'll share more when it's ready.
Getting Started
- Install Browserfly from the Chrome Web Store
- Grab an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter
- Paste it into Browserfly settings
- Start chatting
That's the entire onboarding.
Why We Changed
The best AI tools are the ones you control.
BYOK gives you:
- Direct costs — pay your provider, not us
- Model flexibility — switch based on your needs
- Data sovereignty — your conversations stay yours
- Zero lock-in — no credits to burn, no subscription to cancel
We built Browserfly to be the best AI companion for your browser. That means getting out of the way and letting you choose how you want to use it.
