dots

dots is an open-source AI agent with a custom Firefox browser that avoids detection and handles web tasks.

Dots is an open-source AI agent built around a patched Firefox engine designed to avoid detection on the web. It uses a real browser engine where the fingerprint is decided inside the engine and proxy support aligns timezone and language with the exit node. The agent simulates human pointer movement and keystrokes while maintaining logins and cookies across runs using profile directories. Users can swap models using OpenRouter and integrate the browser into tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI via MCP. It runs via command line on supported operating systems and provides a live web interface for conversations and browser viewing.
