Rill is an AI-native browser built around the Claude Code and Codex you already use. Browse normally, then press ⌘E on any page to turn what you're looking at into a task for your agent. Rill finds the right project, passes along the context, and the agent works while you keep browsing. It also sorts your tabs into themes, turns your history into days you can search, and brings every project your agents are working on into one place. Free, on the plan you already have.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm William! I made Rill because I want to always stay in the flow.
As an ADHD, I never liked code-switching. My best ideas for work come when I'm supposedly not working at all: watching something for fun, reading things and following a rabbit hole, looking at how someone else solved a problem. Then when an idea hit me, I'd have to stop, switch to coding agents, find the project and explain it all, and most of the time I just didn't.
Rill is my way of removing that code-switching. It's a browser with your Claude Code or Codex working alongside you. When something on a page gives you an idea, you say so right there, and an agent starts on it in the right project. You don't have to spend time looking for the right folder, rephrasing everything you just saw on the web, and you don't switch in and out of work mode. The work goes on with you in the flow.
This matters now more than ever. Agents have shortened the distance between ideas to output near zero. So the bottleneck is capturing the idea at the moment you have it. That moment is nearly always while you're taking something in, and that is what a browser is for.
Rill is a free AI-native browser. It's WebKit-based, which means it's native to Mac. And it runs on the Claude Code or Codex plan you already have, so you don't have to buy a new subscription for all of its agentic capabilities.c
How do you keep an idea today when it shows up at the wrong time?
Love the idea of having everything in one place! I have a question: can I manage task priorities across multiple agents, or does ech agent work independently?
Congrats on the launch!!
quick question, does the console go across too? i'm usually just looking at my own localhost and the thing i actually need is whatevers in the console, plus the request that failed under it. right now thats me copy pasting it in every time and how does it know which project.
i have the same app running on like three ports half the time.
Hey @williamgaoharvard Congrats on your launch and leading the chart. Is this mobile compatible, can we send tasks from mobile, we could do with Claude?
I opened History at the end of the day and it read like a diary. I’ve never looked at my Chrome history for fun. Congratulations on the launch
I’d love to queue up a few tasks at night and wake up to them done. Is anyone already using it like that?
I use Codex for research too, so I can see this being useful beyond coding. Being able to trace a draft back to the pages that informed it would matter more to me than just handing over the tabs.
This is a pretty need tool. I have always been a fan of these tools that kind of act as a surface to multiple products. I would recommend expanding to include other tools as more tools outside of Codex and Claude Code will come out and being able to "plug and play" would be cool.
Hi William, great job defining the use case, e.g. I have an idea, I want to tell my agent about this idea immediately, and then send my agent off to work on my idea. I have a question about the project view (or any of the views). is there a way to view the progress of the agents once they are working on or have completed a task?
The idea of turning a random thought while browsing into actual work without breaking your focus feels genuinely useful.Congrats @williamgaoharvard
the per-turn snapshot and Undo you mentioned in another thread is the detail that got me, I've been asking a version of this question on a few launches lately - does that snapshot/undo only cover the git state, or does it also know about anything the agent did outside the repo during that turn (an API call it made, a form it submitted on the page it was reading)? code is easy to revert, a request that already fired isn't, and that gap is the part I haven't seen anyone solve yet
Congrats on the launch, William! The code-switching problem is real. Ideas tend to hit when I'm reading something unrelated, and having ⌘E turn the page into a task for the agent in the right project sounds like a great way to catch them. Looking forward to trying it out.
sending an idea straight from the page makes sense. does the task keep a snapshot of that page, so the agent still has the original context if i navigate away or the site changes?
Turning the page you are already looking at into a task for your agent with one shortcut is a really natural way to blend browsing and building. Passing along the right project context is the part that usually goes wrong in these setups, so handling that automatically is nice. Does the agent stay in the background while you keep browsing other tabs?
Was reading a paper on arXiv and asked it to try the method on my own data. Kept reading, and the chart was there before I reached the conclusion. Anyone else using it for research?
@williamgaoharvard Making the browser the place where you actually kick off the work makes a lot of sense. Nice launch.
Interesting! Is it a built-in AI that forwards the tasks to Claude and Codex or do you directly integrate your already existing Claude or Codex subscriptions API keys into Rill? Congrats on the launch! 🚀
You know when you’re reading something and suddenly think I could build this? This feels pretty useful for that.
