Tallylamp Gives AI Agents a Browser—and Humans the Chair

tallylamp.dev Observed source

Editorial interest 85/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, self-hosted browser environment where an AI agent can work in persistent Chrome while a person watches, signs in, or takes control.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

Tallylamp keeps a browser profile persistent across restarts, preserving cookies and local storage until the individual website expires its login. Agents connect through an MCP endpoint using a bearer token, while the dashboard separates watching from control and can revoke or scope agent access. The homepage describes Railway and Docker deployment options, profile templates, and a version-pinned GHCR image; its browser handoff demo is explicitly illustrative and does not connect to a real account.
