Built-in AI Agent
Dao isn't a browser with an AI extension bolted on — the AI Agent is a first-class citizen, woven into the browsing surface itself.
- Tool-calling agent that can read, click, scroll, and navigate live pages on your behalf — with an animated cursor + tab-lock banner so you always see what it's doing
- Long-term memory (SQLite + FTS5) across episodic and semantic stores — Dao remembers what you've worked on, not just what's in the current tab
- Proactive suggestions triggered by navigation — Dao notices when a page matches a scenario you've taught it, then offers to act
- Skill system — extend the agent with reusable skills; manage them from
chrome://dao-agent/skills - Ask AI from the command bar (Cmd+L) — turn any thought into an agent task without leaving the keyboard
- Page → Markdown capture and share-card generation baked into the chat surface
