A browser made for people, centered on content, and thoughtfully enhanced by AI.
Built on Chromium, Dao keeps the web — not the browser — at the center of your attention.

AI in Dao is designed to support your attention, not compete for it. The built-in Agent works with the page you're viewing, ready to help you understand, navigate, and act when you ask.
- Tool-calling agent that can read, click, scroll, and navigate live pages on your behalf — with an animated cursor + tab-lock banner so you always see what it's doing
- Long-term memory (SQLite + FTS5) across episodic and semantic stores — Dao remembers what you've worked on, not just what's in the current tab
- Proactive suggestions triggered by navigation — Dao notices when a page matches a scenario you've taught it, then offers to act
- Skill system — extend the agent with reusable skills; manage them from
dao://skills - Ask AI from the command bar (Cmd+L) — turn any thought into an agent task without leaving the keyboard
- Page → Markdown capture and share-card generation baked into the chat surface

- Vertical Tab Sidebar — Arc-style collapsible sidebar with folders, favorites, and dual-line active tabs
- Spotlight Command Bar — translucent floating command bar with ghost-text completion + Ask AI integration
- Picture-in-Picture & Split View — keep content where you need it
- Calm Minimalism — chrome recedes so the web page remains the focal point
