Polar
What it is
Polar is an AI browser for macOS and Windows that performs browser tasks on your behalf. It can click, type, and navigate sites while logged into your accounts, with runs lasting from minutes to several hours. Prompts can be saved as workflows and scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom timetable, carrying context into each run. From any tab, Polar can use the current page, answer questions about it, or accept a task. Built on Chromium, it is intended to work inside tools and accounts you already use. Connected Google accounts may provide task-scoped access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, and Sheets. The maker says most profile data stays on the device, while commercial LLM arrangements provide zero data retention subject to stated exceptions. Users can watch the agent, take over, and apply guardrails. Free starts free; Individual is $20 a month and Teams $50 a month per seat.
