Chervil is an open-source browser for Windows designed for the frontier-model era, transforming how users interact with the web.

Instead of navigating multiple links, users receive a curated, living page tailored to their specific questions. Sprig, the integrated assistant, can be given ongoing goals, such as tracking specific product releases or price changes, and will only provide updates when significant changes occur, comparing figures and preventing redundant notifications. All actions taken by Sprig are recorded in a transparent Trust Ledger, allowing users to review and undo changes. Chervil is ideal for researchers, journalists, content creators, and anyone seeking a more efficient and focused web experience. It helps users stay informed on dynamic topics without constant manual searching, streamlining information consumption and reducing digital clutter. The platform prioritizes user control and privacy, processing data locally and allowing users to integrate their preferred large language models. This open-source tool is a powerful alternative for those who desire a web that works proactively for them, composing answers and maintaining up-to-date briefings automatically.
