All-In on BYOK

Browserfly is going all-in on BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). We've retired our built-in AI service. No more credits. No more subscriptions. No more accounts.

What this means:

Your Models, Your Choice — Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, local models (Ollama, LM Studio), OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible API
No Middleman — The extension is free. You pay your AI provider directly — no markup, no hidden fees
Zero Server Processing — Your messages go straight to your AI provider. We never see them, store them, or process them
No Account Required — Install, add your key, start chatting

Read more about this change in our blog post.

Ask Mode / Agent Mode

We've separated Ask Mode and Agent Mode to provide more flexibility. Now you can use Ask Mode for simple webpage queries at a lower credit cost. If you need AI to automate tasks by controlling your browser, switch to Agent Mode for more advanced capabilities.
