Peerd – AI-agent running entirely in your browser as an extension

The developer behind the Peerd project presents an AI-agent platform that functions exclusively as a browser extension, without requiring external processes or API intermediaries. The system leverages the browser's built-in sandboxing through tabs, workers, and WebAssembly to run both JavaScript workloads and Linux environments with full network access.

WHY IT MATTERS

This challenges the prevailing view on where AI-agents should run by demonstrating that the browser – the most tested sandbox environment in the software industry – can be a secure and efficient platform without the need for third-party infrastructure or cloud dependency.
