When users do not know how, they stall or leave. ActBrow finishes the task inside your product: they ask in plain English, it navigates to the right screen, calls your APIs, and the work is done.

## Detailed info

## What is ActBrow?

ActBrow is an embedded AI agent runtime that lets users navigate a web app, call its APIs, run workflows, and ask questions from documentation.

## What ActBrow does

It adds an in-product chat widget to an existing app without a backend rewrite. Registered tools execute through REST, and navigation can move the user to the relevant screen. A hosted early-access option and a self-hosted Docker stack provide different deployment choices.

## Who ActBrow is for

It is for teams adding a task-performing assistant to their web product, with framework examples for React and Vue and an embed for plain HTML.

## How ActBrow works

Teams create an assistant in the dashboard and use its identifier and key in the widget configuration. A coding-agent setup prompt can synchronize tools and documentation. They add the SDK and widget scripts before the closing body tag, then return client-tool execution results over REST.

## Key features

- The widget accepts plain-English task requests.
- Navigation can change screens in the host app.
- API tools use existing REST endpoints.
- Flows combine navigation and tool calls.
- Documentation supplies answers within the app.
- Claude Code and Codex can help configure the connection.
- The embed is framework-agnostic.
- Self-hosting runs on Docker and Postgres.
