Polar – AI Browser for Automatically Collecting and Integrating Information Across Websites Operational

Polar is an AI browser launched by Kevin Jiang, a former Perplexity employee, and is built on Chromium. Unlike AI browsers focused on consumer scenarios, Polar specializes in knowledge work and is designed to handle complex tasks that span multiple websites, run in batches, repeat frequently, and continue for tens of minutes or even hours, such as market research, sales lead generation, and recruiting screening. It helps users get free from tedious webpage operations.

In-browser AI Agent: Performs actions such as clicking, scrolling, filling out forms, and extracting data directly on the current webpage, without requiring users to switch tools.
250+ prebuilt templates: Covers sales, recruiting, marketing, data, research, operations, and more. Templates can be launched with one click or saved as scheduled workflows.
Three work modes: Power Mode (high-performance complex tasks), Default Mode (a balance for everyday efficiency), and Lite Mode (lightweight and low-consumption), with a quick-response toggle.
Cross-site information integration: Automatically navigates across multiple websites to collect information and generates structured reports with source links.
Scheduled workflows: Supports automatically running tasks hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule, such as daily email summaries and regular LinkedIn outreach.
Real-time visual execution: The sidebar displays each operation, reasoning process, and page screenshot in sync. Users can pause or take over at any time.

Download and install: Visit the official Polar website at https://polarbrowser.com/ to download the macOS version of the Polar browser and complete the installation.
Sign in: Sign in with an existing Google or other account. Polar will automatically inherit the browser's session state.
Choose a template or enter an instruction: Open the target webpage, then select a prebuilt template in the sidebar or directly enter a natural-language task description.
Set the mode: Choose Power / Default / Lite Mode based on the task's complexity, and enable quick response if needed.
Run and monitor: The AI automatically operates the webpage. Users can view execution steps and screenshots in real time in the sidebar, and pause or take over at any time.
Get the report: After the task is complete, review the structured output and save it as a workflow for scheduled reuse.

Precise focus on knowledge work: Instead of low-frequency consumer scenarios such as booking flights, Polar focuses on frequent, repetitive professional tasks, resulting in stronger user retention.
Native Chromium architecture: Built directly on a Chromium fork, it is compatible with existing tools and login sessions and requires no extensions, offering much greater stability than early Electron-based solutions.
Long-running autonomous operation: Supports complex task chains that run for several hours. Advances in next-generation models' long-context and visual understanding capabilities make them less likely to lose sight of their objectives.
Transparent and controllable: Every operation and reasoning process is visualized, allowing users to intervene at any time. Guardrails are also in place to prevent high-risk operations.
Top-tier team background: The founding team comes from MIT, YC, Perplexity, Modal, Jane Street, Apple, and other organizations. The product's capabilities have been validated through real-world knowledge work tasks and are leading in the field.

Market research: Automatically extracts information from competitor websites, Reddit comments, and reviews, then generates competitive analysis reports containing customer pain points and positioning recommendations.
Sales lead generation: Extracts target customer information in batches from LinkedIn, industry directories, and other channels, then organizes the enriched data into sales spreadsheets ready for follow-up.
Recruiting screening: Automatically searches multiple recruiting platforms for matching candidates, extracts key resume information, and generates initial screening evaluation tables.
Investment research: Collects financing, team, product, and market data about target companies across websites, then produces source-backed due diligence briefs.
Operations automation: Regularly monitors inventory, order status, website changes, and more, automatically summarizes anomalies and sends reports to replace repetitive manual inspections.
