What is it?

AI Homepage replaces Chrome's new-tab page with one generated from your own browsing. An agent ranks the domains you visit most, opens up to 8 of those pages in your signed-in browser, and writes a React component that the new tab renders as the homepage.

You control both content and look through a free-text instructions box, so you can ask for a morning-newspaper layout, a quiet reading list, a dense work dashboard, or a terminal-style page. Settings also let you block sites the agent should never read, choose between Claude Sonnet, Haiku and Opus, and rebuild automatically every 6 to 48 hours.

Builds run in the extension's background worker using your own Anthropic API key. Browsing summaries and cleaned page HTML are sent to the Anthropic API, so the project is intended for personal use rather than publishing to a browser store.
