OpenInstinct AI assistant encrypts secrets for private browser tasks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenInstinct is an open-source AI assistant designed to handle browser tasks securely by encrypting user secrets before they are stored. This approach prevents AI models from accessing sensitive credentials directly, offering an alternative to handing over data to closed platforms. The assistant is built using TypeScript, deploys to Vercel, and utilizes Kernel for cloud browsers and Neon for its PostgreSQL database, ensuring user privacy while enabling AI agents to perform tasks.
