Beijing-based Moonshot AI has released Kimi WebBridge, a browser extension that lets AI agents interact with websites the way a person would-searching, clicking, typing, scrolling, and extracting data-all while running locally on your device.
Right now most AI browser automation pipes your data through cloud infrastructure, but Kimi WebBridge pairs a local background service with the browser extension, using Chrome DevTools Protocol. Everything stays on your machine. Your bank account, your email, your company's internal tools: the agent can interact with all of them without Moonshot ever seeing the content.
The agent can open pages, click buttons, fill out forms, take screenshots, read text, and pass results back to whatever AI tool you're using. It works in the Chrome or Edge window you already have open, with all your cookies and logins intact.
Kimi WebBridge officially supports Kimi Code CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Hermes.
Kimi K2, Moonshot's 1-trillion-parameter open-source model, ranks first among open-source models and fifth overall on the LMSYS Arena leaderboard. The latest version, K2.6, scores 58.6% on SWE-Bench Pro, ahead of GPT-5.4 at 57.7% and Claude Opus 4.6 at 53.4%.
Browser automation for AI agents is getting crowded. Anthropic's computer use, OpenAI's Operator and ChatGPT Atlas, Google's DeepMind-powered experiments, and Perplexity's Comet Browser all compete. The difference with Kimi WebBridge is the local-first architecture.
