What happened
A former Perplexity engineer launched Polar AI, a web browser built for task automation. The browser focuses on taking over repetitive online actions for users. Details on pricing and full feature availability remain limited in initial reports.
The context
Developers are increasingly embedding AI agents directly into web browsers. Instead of just answering questions, these tools try to navigate sites and complete routine web forms or workflows for you.
