Moonshot AI has launched Kimi WebBridge, a Chrome and Edge browser extension enabling AI agents to interact with websites locally—searching, clicking, typing, scrolling, and extracting data—without sending content to the cloud. Unlike most browser automation tools that route data through external servers (risking exposure of private sessions and information), WebBridge pairs with a local background service using Chrome DevTools Protocol, keeping all activity on the user’s device. Supported AI agents include Kimi Code CLI, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Hermes. WebBridge acts within existing browser windows, leveraging users’ own cookies and logins, and can automate tasks such as product comparisons, job listing compilations, or price checks, transforming repetitive browsing into simple prompts. It is powered by Moonshot’s high-performance Kimi models, with K2.6 outperforming competitors like GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 on software engineering benchmarks. Recent attention focused on Kimi after its open-source model was discovered at the core of Cursor AI’s Composer 2. For secure browser automation—especially with sensitive data—WebBridge’s local-first approach distinguishes it from cloud-based tools by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Setup requires downloading the Kimi Desktop App and linking the extension.
