Created a web OS that runs 100% in the browser with an AI kernel, no backend, zero install

A developer created Solips-webos, a fully client-side desktop operating system that runs 100% in the browser with no backend or installation required. The OS is controlled by a large language model using a visible cursor to manipulate the UI like a human user, rather than just calling APIs.

Hi folks,

I have been trying to explore the edges of what is possible with

browser technology. I am presenting my latest creation: Solips-webos - 100%

client-side desktop OS.

The idea: Imagine a Large Language Model actually using an operating

system instead of just chatting about it. Clicking windows, managing files,

executing commands, within a secure browser environment.

Technological aspects:

The cool part: The AI controls the OS using a visible cursor - not

only calling APIs, but manipulating the UI like an actual user would.

No server, no build process, no install. Curious to see what everyone

thinks about this way of building browser OS.
