Composite
Composite is an AI autopilot for the browser you already use. Describe a task in plain language and its agent clicks, types and navigates to complete it locally, on any website, starting from a free plan.
What is Composite?
Composite is an AI agent that automates work inside the web browser you already have open. Published by Composite Sciences, Inc. of San Francisco, it installs as a desktop application for Mac and Windows plus a Chrome extension, and drives the Chromium browser and the profile you use every day rather than a browser of its own. You call it up with Cmd + Shift + Space, or Ctrl + Shift + Space on Windows, from any page. A light search bar appears, you describe what you want done, and the agent plans the steps then carries them out: it clicks, types, opens tabs and moves between sites until the task is finished.
The design choice behind all of this is that the agent runs locally, in a browser your IT department has already approved. Because it reuses the sessions you are logged into, there are no API keys to provision, no OAuth flows and no re-authentication, and it can reach internal tools sitting behind a VPN or two-factor authentication that hosted browser agents cannot touch. The site contrasts this with two rival approaches in a comparison table: hosted browsers, which take hours to configure, only reach public sites and tend to be blocked by IT; and new AI browsers, which demand that you migrate bookmarks, extensions and logins and then lock you into their own AI and search.
Under the hood, Composite routes tasks across several models, sending simple actions to small fast ones and reserving larger models for visual reasoning or multi-step planning. It watches for repetition and offers to automate what you keep doing by hand, surfaces suggestions based on the page in front of you, and runs work in background tabs, with up to five concurrent threads on the paid plan. Demonstrations on the site cover expense submission, vendor assessment, drafting a sales update from CRM data and job hunting. Security controls are limited but stated: consent is requested before high-risk actions, site blocklists are supported, and no login credentials are collected. Versions 1.0.0 to 1.0.3 shipped in January 2026, though the homepage still describes the product as free during beta.
What it does
- Run any browser task you can describe in a sentence, on any website you can already open
- Move data between tools that have no integration with each other
- Update CRM records, triage ticket backlogs and sync project trackers
- Research and compare vendors, candidates or competitors across scattered sources
- Pull recurring reports and weekly summaries out of dashboards you already use
- Accept proactive suggestions the agent surfaces from the page you are looking at
- Restrict where the agent may go using site blocklists, and approve high-risk actions yourself
When to use Composite / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Composite is the right fit.
When to use Composite
- Knowledge workers whose day is spent moving between half a dozen SaaS tools in a browser tab
- Sales teams updating CRM records, drafting weekly pipeline reports and prospecting on LinkedIn
- Recruiters sourcing and screening candidates across LinkedIn and applicant tracking systems
- Operations, product and project people triaging tickets, syncing trackers and pulling dashboards
- Employees whose IT department will never approve a new browser, since the agent runs inside the approved one
When not to use Composite
- Anyone working in Safari or Firefox: only Chromium browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Arc and Opera are supported
- Mobile-first users, as there is no iOS or Android application, only a Mac and Windows desktop app
- Developers who need a public API, since none is documented anywhere on the site
- Organisations that cannot let behavioural data feed model training by default, opt-out being the user's job
- Under-18s, who are excluded by both the terms of use and the privacy policy

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Composite handles your data.
GDPR overview
There is no mention of the GDPR anywhere on this site. The term does not appear once in the privacy policy, the terms of use or any page collected, and no Article 27 EU representative, data protection officer, legal basis or GDPR response deadline is named. The privacy policy does acknowledge rights that vary with where you live, including access, deletion, correction, portability, objection, restriction, withdrawal of consent and the right to complain to your local data protection authority, all exercised through legal@composite.com. Beyond that, the text is written for United States law: the Californian CPRA is set out in detail with a 45-day response window extendable once, alongside Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon and Montana. The terms mention European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, but only where applicable law requires them. No data processing agreement is published and no certification is claimed.
Who owns the data?
Section 3.1 of the terms gives you, or your licensors, ownership of all User Content the Service collects from you, and section 3.4 states in capitals that Composite claims no ownership rights over it. In exchange you grant a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence to use, copy, modify and create derivative works of your content and outputs, in order to run the Service, improve it, train Composite's proprietary models, and build aggregated or de-identified datasets the company may licence or sell. Identifiable content is never sold as a standalone dataset. Composite separately owns Usage Data that is not personal information, keeps the models it trains, and takes outright assignment of any feedback you send.
Reuse rights
Yes. Section 4.3 of the terms lets you use the Service's Output for any lawful purpose on a royalty-free basis, without asking permission first. Three limits come with it. Using an Output transfers no intellectual property rights in the Service itself. Composite may, at its sole discretion and simply by giving notice, restrict your use of an Output or require you to stop and delete every copy if it forms the view that the use could infringe a third party's rights. And you may not present an Output as human-generated, nor use Outputs to train your own machine learning models. The same section warns, in capitals, that Outputs may not be unique between users, may be inaccurate and may contain hallucinations, so you are expected to evaluate them yourself, human review included, with Composite disclaiming liability for what they contain. Nothing produced by the Service is offered as professional advice.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
All data is stored on AWS infrastructure located in the United States, and no data residency option is offered anywhere else. Storage is described as access-controlled, and an automated redaction pipeline strips personal information before any Composite employee can reach stored data, a control the company presents as technical rather than merely procedural. Your content may be processed locally on your machine or through Composite's cloud infrastructure as needed. AI inference is routed either through Composite's own gateway or to third-party providers, named as Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and OpenRouter, all of which are said to operate under zero data retention agreements, meaning they neither store inputs nor train on them. Business customers are pointed to trust.composite.com for the list of subprocessors, with notice and an opportunity to object before changes take effect, though that page is not reachable from outside the company. For a European buyer, the practical position is a United States jurisdiction with no alternative.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Composite.
- The extension records your active tab's interactions and page structure while enabled, and uninstalling it is the only withdrawal of consent the terms provide
- Aggregated, de-identified or derived datasets built from your content and usage may be licensed or sold to third parties; only identifiable data is ring-fenced
- You are made responsible for telling anyone whose browsing activity your extension might capture, a duty most users will never think about
- The privacy policy warns residents of Illinois, Texas and Washington about laws covering the capture of on-screen content and electronic activity
- The terms disclaim liability for automated actions taken without manual review, so outages, site policy breaches and data loss fall on you
- Outputs may be inaccurate or hallucinated and must be checked by a human, a discipline that erodes quickly once an agent appears reliable
- Delegating repetitive judgement to an agent that learns your patterns can quietly deskill the person who used to make those calls
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low. Three steps: download the installer, launch the application, install the Chrome extension. The site advertises about 30 seconds, and a standard .dmg or .exe install is all that is involved. There are no API keys, no OAuth flows, no connectors and no workflows to build, so no technical skill is required. The only real prerequisites are a Chromium-based browser and an environment that allows desktop applications and browser extensions, which is the one point a locked-down corporate laptop may fail.

Should you pick Composite?
Composite makes one clear bet, and it is a good one: the hardest part of a browser agent is not the reasoning, it is access. By installing into the Chromium browser and profile a company has already approved, it inherits every session the user is logged into and reaches internal tools behind a VPN that hosted agents simply cannot see. That removes the migration project, the IT review and the credential handover in one move, which goes some way to explaining the logos it claims: Google, Meta, Tesla, Uber, Salesforce, Bain and Reddit.
The cost of that bet is exposure. An extension that reads the structure and interactions of your active tab sees a great deal, and Composite says plainly that this behavioural data trains its proprietary models by default. There are real safeguards - automated PII redaction before any employee can look, zero-retention agreements with the inference providers, and a training opt-out written into the terms that costs you no access. But the burden sits with the user, and the compliance apparatus is entirely American: the GDPR is never mentioned, no data processing agreement is published, no certification is claimed, and the trust centre the privacy policy points to is not reachable from outside.
For a US team that lives in Chrome and wants automation without a rollout, the free plan makes this close to risk-free to evaluate, and USD 20 a month is a low ceiling. For a European buyer with a procurement checklist, the paperwork is not there yet. The product itself looks past its early days despite the homepage still saying 'free during beta' - versions 1.0.0 to 1.0.3 shipped in January 2026 - but Chromium-only support, no mobile app and no public API keep its reach narrower than the marketing suggests.
