Polar
What Polar is
Polar is an AI browser for carrying out browser-based tasks on a user's behalf. It can click, type, and navigate websites while signed in as the user, with tasks that may run from minutes to several hours. Users can save prompts as workflows and schedule them hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule, with context carried into each run. From any tab, Polar can use the current page as context, answer questions about it, or accept a task. Built on Chromium, it is intended to work within tools and accounts people already use. Connected Google accounts may grant task-scoped access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sheets. The maker says most browser profile data stays on the device rather than being synced as a full backup. Polar is available for macOS and Windows. Its Free plan starts with 3,000 credits and adds 100 daily, capped at 1,000; Individual costs $20 a month and Teams costs $50 a month per seat.
