Openskynet browser automation tool now works with Ollama
Openskynet, an open-source tool that lets AI control a web browser automatically, now supports Ollama. This means you can run the whole thing on your own computer for free, without paying for any online AI service.
Openskynet is a tool that lets an AI agent take over your web browser — clicking buttons, filling out forms, and navigating pages on your behalf. It is designed to automate repetitive browsing tasks without human input. The new Ollama integration is the notable addition here: Ollama is a free program that runs AI models locally on your own PC, with no internet connection required. By combining the two, you can now run a full browser automation agent entirely on your own machine at zero API cost. This lowers the barrier significantly for anyone who wants to experiment with AI agents but does not want to pay per-use fees to providers like OpenAI or Google. It also keeps your data private since nothing leaves your computer.
