Answers for teams evaluating Aera

Aera gives you one manager that can carry work through your own accounts. It combines conversation, browser actions, files, and recurring work, with the context kept together as your priorities change.

Aera is a Chromium browser with a manager built in. It can work directly in your signed-in accounts, create and edit files, use connected tools, and coordinate ongoing work.

Aera can research, prepare documents and reports, work in your accounts, and carry ongoing responsibilities forward. Tell your manager the outcome you want and it will plan the work, use the tools it needs, and bring you the result.

Describe the outcome to Aera in plain language. Your manager plans the work, interacts with the current pages, and keeps the results and follow-ups together in your browser.

You could. But that's another project, another codebase, another thing to maintain. Every time a website updates their UI, your automation breaks. Aera gives you the automation layer without the engineering overhead. Describe what you want. It runs. Your time is better spent shipping product, not maintaining browser scripts.

Minimal. If you can describe the job in plain English, you can use Aera. There is no scripting language and no configuration to fill in: you say what you need done, and Aera works out the how. The first routine is one sentence and a confirmation of the schedule. Start with a job you already do every morning, because you will know immediately whether the result is right.

Yes. Your manager can research your audience, track mentions, prepare content, and carry out the publishing and replies you authorize. You set the priorities and permissions, and Aera keeps you informed.

Your manager follows the work and brings you the issues that need your attention. Results and run history stay available, so you can see what happened and discuss the next step in the same conversation.

Time is your scarcest resource when you're bootstrapped. Every hour spent on browser busywork is an hour not spent on product, sales, or customer conversations. If Aera saves you even 1 hour daily, that's 30+ hours monthly. We think that's worth paying for.

Aera can monitor conversations, research context, prepare replies, and send or publish with your authorization. Give your manager the direction and boundaries, and it coordinates the work.

Describe your ideal lead criteria. Aera can visit prospect profiles, analyze their activity, check company details, and compile qualified leads into a report, automatically. What used to take hours of manual research can run in the background while you're in meetings.

Absolutely. Schedule Aera to pull data from Google Analytics, social media dashboards, CRM, and any other web-based tool. It aggregates everything into a single report, formatted how you want it, delivered when you want it. No more morning data-entry rituals across 12 different tabs.

If your tools have a web interface, Aera can interact with them. It's not limited by API availability, Aera works through the browser, just like you would. Plus, MCP integration means you can connect Aera to your development workflow and build custom automations that span multiple tools.

Point it at competitor sites, social accounts, job boards, product pages, anything public. Aera checks on the cadence you set, compares against the last run, and surfaces only what changed, already summarized. You stop checking the same ten sources every morning and read a diff instead.

Your research, automations, and workflows can be organized by context. Switch between clients instantly without losing your place. The AI understands project context, so your research for Client A doesn't bleed into your work for Client B.

Choose work you regularly handle yourself, then compare the time you spend managing it with Aera. Research, reporting, and client follow-ups are useful places to start.

Aera can work in background tabs while you browse. Active work shares your machine's resources. You can pause work or adjust its schedule when you need that capacity.

Aera keeps browser data on your device and lets you control access to saved sign-ins. Model requests send task context to the provider or endpoint you select. Choose an endpoint whose handling meets your client requirements. The security page explains the data paths.

Aera speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol). Connect it directly to Cursor, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible tool. Your AI coding assistant can trigger browser automations, and Aera can feed data back to your development environment.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI tools. It means Aera can talk directly to Cursor, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, and other developer tools. Your AI coding assistant can control the browser. Aera can feed real-time web data into your development workflow. No more being the middleware between your tools.

Yes. Power users can create reusable automation recipes and share them with the community. MCP support means you can also build custom integrations using tools you already know. No proprietary API to learn, MCP is an industry standard.

Aera offers frontier models through OpenRouter. You can also configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Ollama or LM Studio in Settings > Models. Model access through Aera is funded by a subscription or account credit.

The agent can read the pages and tabs you use it on so it can execute the workflow. For developers, Aera also supports deeper inspection (like network traffic) for debugging and building automations. You stay in control of what the agent runs and what data you keep.

Aera is proprietary software built on Chromium. It supports MCP and OpenAI-compatible model endpoints.

Headless automation (BrowserBase, etc.) runs in the cloud and is designed for backend processes. Aera is a full browser you use daily, with automation built in. Use it for browsing AND automation. No context switching between your 'real' browser and your automation environment.

Browsing history, chats, bookmarks, and task data are stored on your device. AI requests send task context to the provider or endpoint you choose. The security page explains what each connection carries and how to manage access.

Browsing history, chats, bookmarks, and task data are stored on your device. AI requests send task context to the provider or endpoint you choose. The security page explains what each connection carries and how to manage access.

Choose a model provider or endpoint that meets your requirements for the data involved. Aera sends the task context there for processing. An endpoint running on this device keeps inference on this device. The security page explains the other account and service connections.

Aera works through your browser and signed-in sessions. Site access depends on the site's rules and controls, as it does when you use it directly.

Assess the complete workflow against your organization's requirements, including the model provider or endpoint and connected services. Aera stores browsing data locally. Model requests carry task context to the selected endpoint. Our security page and privacy policy provide details for that review.

Aera is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The download page lists the supported versions and installers.

Yes. Aera supports Chrome extensions with direct import. Keep your password manager, ad blocker, dev tools, and everything else you rely on. No ecosystem rebuild needed, your existing workflow stays intact.

Aera runs on any modern system that can run Chrome. 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended for heavy automation use). No special hardware required, if you can run a browser, you can run Aera.

Install Aera, open the sidebar, and describe one job you already do by hand. Watch it run, then say "run this every morning" to make it recurring. Start with something you can check at a glance: a number from a dashboard, a page you re-read, a list you copy across. The skills marketplace has ready-made routines you can install and edit. If you get stuck, email [email protected].

Aera is free to download. The Free plan includes browsing and interactive chat with your own local model. Pro is $20 per month and Ultra is $200 per month. Paid access adds workspaces, ongoing work, and advanced tools. See pricing for the current offer.

Your browser data and saved files are stored on your device. Chromium browsing and those files remain available independently of our service. Account access, model access through Aera, and connected services have separate service dependencies.

Email [email protected]. A person reads every message, usually the founder. Tell us what you asked Aera to do and what happened instead. Do not send passwords or sensitive information. There is a Discord for workflow ideas, but email is the channel we answer.

Aera delivers updates through the browser. The changelog lists each release and what changed.

Yes. Send your feedback and the work you want help with to [email protected]. Andrew, Aera's founder, reads product feedback. The changelog shows what has shipped.
