# Introduction

 
Whether you accept it or not, agentic AI browsers are here to stay. They don’t just automate your web workflow; they help you with research, writing, understanding content, and much more.

An agentic browser uses autonomous AI agents that can navigate websites, fill forms, execute multi-step tasks, and interact with web pages on your behalf. This means instead of you clicking through dozens of tabs, summarizing articles, or hunting for data, the AI agent can take care of much of that work for you.

Imagine asking your browser: “Find all the latest studies on domain adaptation in computer vision, extract the key findings, and draft an outline for a blog post.” A true agentic browser can start doing that. 

In this article, we will review the top 7 agentic AI browsers making waves right now, each packed with powerful features and some offering strong privacy-first usage models.
