Research like it was meant to be.

See what your AI browses. Keep what it learns.

The browser that skills your AI. Every page it opens is a tab you can watch, and everything it finds stays on your computer for next time.

For researchers, journalists, developers, analysts and anyone who needs answers they can check.

The rules changed in April. Your AI read the page that says so, and so did you.

01Visible

Your AI shows its work.

Once connected, every page your AI looks up opens here as a real tab. Many at once, live. Your chat carries on as normal.

Know moreShow less
  • Fleet view shows every tab your AI is working in, side by side (⇧⌘F). Click a tile to step in.
  • Deep research follows the links that matter, up to 5 hops from the first page.
  • Once Skillerr is your AI's browser, its web search and page reading go through Skillerr, so the sources in its answer are pages you saw.
  • Tabs for one task are grouped and named after it. Show them all or close them all in one click.
  • A plain-English log of every step: "Opening who.int", "Reading the page".
The ring turns only on tabs the AI is reading right now.

Show your AI what you see.

One click in Skillerr captures the page and copies a line. Paste it to your AI and just say what's wrong.

02Kept

Research that outlives the chat.

Everything your AI finds is kept on your computer. Next time, it checks what you already know before it searches again.

Know moreShow less
  • What's kept: the goal, which AI ran it, the pages (URL, title and a few keywords, never the full text), notes and topics. Pages with password or payment fields are kept as a visit only.
  • Your AI gets recall, my_research and read_note. Notes are readable even when Skillerr is closed.
  • Copy prompt for your AI continues a topic in any connected AI.
  • Skills are standard SKILL.md files and can be shared with Claude Code. Sealed skill packages are coming soon.
  • Forget any node, use "Don't remember" on any session, or turn memory off.

Skills

Figured out once, reused next time, with your OK.

It learns new skills.

Comes with a screen recorder and screenshots. Your AI can save what it figures out as a skill, with your OK, and any research can become a skill you hand to any AI.

  • Skills are standard SKILL.md folders, shared with Claude Code.
  • Add a skill folder from Settings → Skills.
  • A new skill always asks for your OK.

03Governed

It does the clicking.
You make the calls.

Skillerr is the governance layer for your AI on the web. Every step is logged in plain English, and anything sensitive waits for your OK.

  • Approvals are enforced by the browser, even with step-by-step approval turned off. With no answer in 55 seconds, the action is declined.
  • Pause stops it at once (⇧⌘P). Take over hands you the browser; Let it continue hands it back.
  • Undo the last step: a mistyped field, a wrong choice, a wrong click.
  • Robot checks are always yours. When a page asks "are you human?", Skillerr hands it to you. It never tries to get past them.
  • Hidden text on pages (invisible, off-screen, same colour as the background) is removed before your AI reads it.
  • If a page tries to give your AI instructions, Skillerr removes that text and warns you and your AI.

04Yours

  • Early builds aren't notarized by Apple or signed for Windows yet. Mac: open Skillerr once, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Windows: More info → Run anyway. Details
  • Then: three quick screens, connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor in one click (or pick a local model), and ask it something.
  • Try: "Use Skillerr to compare the three cheapest flights to Lisbon next month."

Or let your AI set it up

Paste this into Claude Code (or any AI that can use a terminal). It installs Skillerr, connects it, and asks you before making Skillerr its browser.

Set up Skillerr as my browser: follow https://skillerr.com/agents.md

Or install from a terminal. macOS or Linux:

curl -fsSL https://skillerr.com/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://skillerr.com/install.ps1 | iex

  • Add --dry-run to preview without changing anything.
  • Config files are backed up (*.skillerr-backup) before they're changed.
  • Only if you say yes, --prefer makes Skillerr Claude Code's browser: it turns off the built-in WebSearch and WebFetch in ~/.claude/settings.json and adds a short note to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. You can undo it at any time.

Questions, answered.

Is it really free?

Yes. Connect Claude Desktop (the free plan works), Claude Code, Cursor, a local model or your own API key, and Skillerr costs nothing, with no features held back. Pro with hosted models is coming.

Is it open source?

Yes. The app is open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0, so you can read exactly what a browser that sees your research does: github.com/dot-skill/skillerr-browser. The hosted services on skillerr.com (sign-in, updates, and Pro when it opens) are run by us.

Who is it for?

Anyone who needs answers they can check. Journalists: verify every source your AI used. Researchers: research that builds up instead of starting over. Developers: show your AI your screen and hand it docs as skills. Analysts: compare many sites at once in Fleet view.

Where does my research live?

On your computer: a research graph, notes in ~/Skillerr/notes and topic folders in ~/Skillerr/research. Skillerr has no server that collects it. What leaves your computer is what your chosen AI reads to do the task, and it goes to that AI, or nowhere if it's a local model.

Which AIs work?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor connect in one click. Windsurf, Cline, LM Studio and other MCP apps connect with a config you copy. In the built-in panel: Ollama or LM Studio models, or a Gemini, Claude, OpenAI or OpenRouter key. ChatGPT isn't supported yet.

Can a website hijack my AI?

Hidden text on pages (invisible, off-screen, same colour as the background) is removed before your AI reads it. If a page tries to give your AI instructions, Skillerr removes that text and warns you and your AI. Payments, passwords, sign-ins and deletions always wait for you, and you can Pause, Take over or Undo at any time.

How is this different from Comet or Claude in Chrome?

Browsers like Comet come with their own AI. Claude in Chrome lets Claude work inside your Chrome. Skillerr is a separate browser for whichever AI you already use, and it keeps what your AI learns on your computer, shared by every AI you connect, so a new chat doesn't start from zero.

Does my AI need Skillerr open?

To browse, yes; Skillerr starts by itself when your AI first uses it. To read your notes and skills, no: they're shared with your AI straight from disk.

Visible. Governed.
Yours to keep.
