Fellou

I gave Fellou a spin over a weekend, and from what I can tell – it adds a brain to your browser along with a smart to-do list. Picture this: I’m researching AI trends for a project, juggling X posts, academic papers, and LinkedIn chatter. Normally, I’d be a tab-hoarding mess, but Fellou swoops in like a digital superhero. This AI-powered browser, which calls itself “agentic,” doesn’t just sit there — it plans, searches, and executes tasks with a kind of eerie competence. After a couple of hours, I’m hooked, though not without a few gripes.

The Deep Search feature is where Fellou shines. I typed “find recent AI papers on arXiv,” and it didn’t just spit out links — it scoured the database, grabbed titles, abstracts, and links, then formatted them into a clean report. All while I was checking emails. The timeline feature saved my bacon when I accidentally closed a tab with a key article; I just clicked back to that moment, and poof, it was there. The drag-and-drop commands? Ridiculously intuitive. I dragged an image from a webpage into Fellou’s chat, and it analyzed the data in seconds. Compared to Voilà, which offers solid in-tab assistance, Fellou feels like it’s playing chess while others play checkers.

That said, I hit some bumps. The invite-only beta feels exclusive in a frustrating way, and the Mac-only setup meant my Windows-using colleague was left out. The free version is decent, but premium features, locked behind a subscription, seem pricier than something like Deeptab, which integrates AI directly into Chrome. Also, while the Eko framework lets you build custom workflows with natural language, I fumbled a bit getting it to understand my vague prompts. Patience required.

The surprise? Fellou’s cross-platform sync. I told it to pull product data from Product Hunt and dump it into Notion, and it did it flawlessly, like a well-trained assistant. That’s not something BrowserCopilot AI can match yet. For professionals or students drowning in research, this is a game-changer. My tip: start small with Deep Search, test the timeline to track your work, and don’t be afraid to experiment with drag-and-drop. It’s not perfect, but it’s close to brilliant.
