Meet Aera, the browser built for automating real workflows. Create tasks, and Aera runs full workflows in the background, handling context, execution, and reporting automatically. Connect tools like Cursor or Claude Code with MCP so agents can take real action, not just suggest it. Keep your data + history private and local-only. Try for free!
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Andrew, and I built Aera to address the core issue with current agentic browsers: they just don't help me get any real work done.
Aera does.
Instead of just helping you browse, Aera lets you automate real workflows in your browser, even while you’re away.
Here's how it works:
• Create a task (or just ask the sidebar!)
• Schedule it to run automatically
• It executes, tracks context across runs, and generates reports
• You get notified when it’s done
If you can do it in a browser, you can automate it.
But with Aera, I wanted to take this a step further. Agentic tools can be helpful in their own right, but are even more useful when connected to other agentic systems. So Aera ships with MCP. You can connect tools like Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, and Claude Code directly to Aera so that they can use the browser's automation toolkit to actually execute tasks, not just suggest them.
On privacy:
• Your browsing + chat history stays local-only.
• Inference handled directly by model providers and never passes through Aera servers.
• All subscription models use ZDR (Zero Data Retention).
Aera comes with a free tier, with higher performance models and vision tools that greatly increase capabilities available in subscription plans.
Aera is still in early access, and is developed solely by me for the time being. I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback and see what you automate as Aera continues to scale!
Congrats on the launch! How do you handle complex sites or edge cases where workflows might break mid-run?
The MCP integration is what sets this apart for me. Having coding agents actually execute browser tasks instead of just generating instructions is a huge workflow difference. Also respect that it's a solo dev project built on Chromium — that's no small feat. Will definitely try connecting it to my existing agent setup.
As someone who's worked on automation tools, I love the idea of Aera tackling real workflows directly in the browser. The integration with tools like Cursor and Claude Code is a smart move to boost functionality without compromising user data security. How have you ensured Aera can effectively handle complex websites without getting flagged as a bot?
Congrats on the launch and best of luck! Apart from the Agentic stuff, how good would you say your browser is versus legacy ones in terms of speed, memory management, UI, etc? What I would like to figure out is, if it weren't for the Agentic part, would it still be better to use versus Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.
This is exceptional, there are so many simple but important tasks I always wanted to automate, this will surely help me do that, but how well it can handle mimicking the human behavior because if websites get a feel that its not a real person, it will be blocked?
The Aera browser looks promising. Congrats on the launch 🎉
