AI browser agent: browses, clicks, types, and reads real web pages from plain-English instructions.
Overview
AIHawk is a local AI browser agent that carries out plain-English instructions by browsing, clicking, typing and reading real web pages inside its own virtual-m
- What you can do
- Browse, click, type and read real web pages from plain-English instructions, using a patched Firefox that keeps separate cookies and logins per identity. Run long tasks on a hardware-accelerated Linux desktop VM with a persistent disk that sleeps when idle. Keep notes and how-tos between tasks, and declare your own MCP servers for it to use. Set allow, ask or deny permissions per tool, with ask requests waiting in an inbox. Queue tasks and recurring automations, and reach it through a web UI, command line, HTTP API, Telegram or opt-in WhatsApp.
- When to use it
- Use it when a task needs a real computer and human-like judgement over time, such as checking fares daily, downloading invoices after logging in, or reading a page and reporting back. It suits users who want a self-hosted agent with its own VM and browser identities rather than a hosted service.
- Requirements
- Runs locally on desktop only, started with uvx from the aihawk PyPI package. The README's quickstart asks for Node 24+, Go 1.25+, Git, hardware virtualization (x86-64), QEMU with KVM or the Windows Hypervisor Platform, and an OpenRouter key entered in the web UI.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open AIHawk in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
README
Open-source, self-hosted alternative to OpenAI Dots, Grok Bot. Built to be undetectable by anti-bot systems.
Quickstart
You need Node 24+, Go 1.25+, Git and hardware virtualization (x86-64), plus an OpenRouter key.
Windows (PowerShell):
Linux (Ubuntu 24.04):
setup --all installs QEMU and turns on the accelerator (KVM, or the Windows Hypervisor Platform), then builds or
downloads the Dot's images; run it again after a restart and it carries on. Then open http://127.0.0.2:3000,
paste your OpenRouter key and create your first Dot. Every step and its failure modes:
the guide's quickstart.
What to ask a Dot
Anything that needs a computer and a person's judgement, for as long as it takes:
Open a browser identity called research, go to https://example.com and tell me the page's title and its first sentence. Leave the browser open.
Every morning, check one-way fares from Milan to Lisbon for the next two weeks, write them to ~/workspace/fares.csv and tell me the cheapest day.
Log in to the shop with the shopping identity, download this month's invoices to ~/documents, and remember where the invoices page is for next time.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.
