Product Positioning & Context
Rill is an AI-native browser built around the Claude Code and Codex you already use. Browse normally, then press ⌘E on any page to turn what you're looking at into a task for your agent. Rill finds the right project, passes along the context, and the agent works while you keep browsing. It also sorts your tabs into themes, turns your history into days you can search, and brings every project your agents are working on into one place. Free, on the plan you already have.

Community Voice & Feedback
I use Codex for research too, so I can see this being useful beyond coding. Being able to trace a draft back to the pages that informed it would matter more to me than just handing over the tabs.
This is a pretty need tool. I have always been a fan of these tools that kind of act as a surface to multiple products. I would recommend expanding to include other tools as more tools outside of Codex and Claude Code will come out and being able to "plug and play" would be cool.
Hi William, great job defining the use case, e.g. I have an idea, I want to tell my agent about this idea immediately, and then send my agent off to work on my idea. I have a question about the project view (or any of the views). is there a way to view the progress of the agents once they are working on or have completed a task?
QQ: how is Rill different from Claude in Chrome?
I use Claude Code every day, often while I'm in the browser checking Search Console or a store page, so ⌘E-to-task is exactly the jump I make by hand now: copy the URL, switch to the terminal, explain the context. Is a Windows version on the roadmap? I'm on Windows 11 and would try it the day it ships.
The idea of turning a random thought while browsing into actual work without breaking your focus feels genuinely useful.Congrats @williamgaoharvard
the per-turn snapshot and Undo you mentioned in another thread is the detail that got me, I've been asking a version of this question on a few launches lately - does that snapshot/undo only cover the git state, or does it also know about anything the agent did outside the repo during that turn (an API call it made, a form it submitted on the page it was reading)? code is easy to revert, a request that already fired isn't, and that gap is the part I haven't seen anyone solve yet
Congrats on the launch, William! The code-switching problem is real. Ideas tend to hit when I'm reading something unrelated, and having ⌘E turn the page into a task for the agent in the right project sounds like a great way to catch them. Looking forward to trying it out.
sending an idea straight from the page makes sense. does the task keep a snapshot of that page, so the agent still has the original context if i navigate away or the site changes?
Turning the page you are already looking at into a task for your agent with one shortcut is a really natural way to blend browsing and building. Passing along the right project context is the part that usually goes wrong in these setups, so handling that automatically is nice. Does the agent stay in the background while you keep browsing other tabs?
Was reading a paper on arXiv and asked it to try the method on my own data. Kept reading, and the chart was there before I reached the conclusion. Anyone else using it for research?
@williamgaoharvard Making the browser the place where you actually kick off the work makes a lot of sense. Nice launch.
Interesting! Is it a built-in AI that forwards the tasks to Claude and Codex or do you directly integrate your already existing Claude or Codex subscriptions API keys into Rill? Congrats on the launch! 🚀
Haha my reader later tab just got nervous
You know when you’re reading something and suddenly think I could build this? This feels pretty useful for that.
