The original title is "Solips: A browser-only web OS with an AI-controlled virtual cursor"

Original: Created a web OS that runs 100% in the browser with an AI kernel, no backend, zero install

Short summary

A developer showcases Solips, a web-based OS that runs entirely in the browser with no backend or install, featuring an AI kernel that controls a virtual cursor via tool-calling. It supports multiple LLM providers (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok) and uses IndexedDB for persistence and BroadcastChannel for cross-tab LLM sharing. The post is a brief project announcement with a GitHub link, inviting community feedback.

  • Solips is a browser-only web OS with an AI kernel that controls a virtual cursor using tool-calling
  • Supports Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Grok; uses IndexedDB and BroadcastChannel for persistence and cross-tab sharing
  • No backend, no build process, no install — open index.html to run

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
