What is oc?
oc lets AI agents browse the web in hundreds of tokens instead of tens of thousands by turning any website into a compact, markdown-first CLI. It is open-source, runs locally, and fits into agent workflows that need to read sites without loading full browser pages.

Pros: what oc does well
- Massively reduces token use when agents browse
- Open-source and self-hosted
- Works with existing CLI agents
Cons: where it falls short
- Requires command-line comfort
- Not a full visual browser
Who oc is for
Developers and agent builders who want agents to read websites cheaply.
Who can skip it
Users who need a traditional point-and-click browser experience.
