Aiko: The Reference Consumer Agent
Aiko is a personal AI agent for people who do not want to learn how agents work. It is the clearest demonstration of what Unbrowse enables one layer up.
The belief
The problem was never AI. The problem was making normal people become developers first. Every "agent" tool asks you to set things up before it can help. Aiko's bet is the opposite: you say what you need in plain language, and it handles the setup, the tools, the memory, and the payment invisibly.
What it is
A personal agent on your Mac. It runs locally and is screen-aware, positioned next to your context rather than uploading it.
It remembers. Persistent memory across sessions, so you do not re-explain yourself every time.
It picks up new abilities as needed. Capabilities grow on demand instead of being pre-configured by the user.
It pays for the paid stuff. Metered payment over x402 means no developer keys and no plugin wiring for the user.
Web tasks are fast because of Unbrowse. Aiko routes web work through Unbrowse, so it skips spinning up a browser and calls the interface behind the page directly. Browser agents wait for the page to paint; Aiko usually does not.
Why this matters for Unbrowse
Aiko is the existence proof for the Unbrowse thesis at the consumer edge. If a non-technical user can hand a web task to an agent and get a result in plain language, with no browser theater and no key management, then the layer underneath (shared route lookup, reuse, accountable maintenance) is doing exactly the job it was designed for. Aiko surfaces the outcome; Unbrowse is the execution platform that makes the outcome cheap and fast.
