DOZ review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

DOZ is an open-source Chrome extension that turns natural-language commands into browser actions. It can click, type, scroll, navigate, search, and fill forms, making it suitable for individuals and small teams that want browser automation without a vendor-operated backend. Its Chrome side-panel interface keeps commands alongside the active browsing session, while screenshots before and after actions provide a visual record of activity. The clearest fit is for users who want direct control over routine website tasks and the ability to approve actions as they happen.

Control is the standout feature. DOZ offers full-auto, ask-before-acting, and plan-only modes, so users can choose between delegated execution, confirmation before actions, or a preview of the planned steps. That range makes it more adaptable than an agent limited to one execution style. Gmail and Outlook/Hotmail connections extend the workflow beyond ordinary page interaction through their APIs. Direct use of DeepSeek or NVIDIA Nemotron APIs also gives users a choice of supported model providers, though each requires the user to supply an API key.

The trade-off is that DOZ places more responsibility on the user. The extension is installed from the project’s GitHub repository, and API charges for the chosen DeepSeek or NVIDIA Nemotron service are separate from DOZ. It also runs as a Chrome extension rather than a broader cross-browser product. Choose DOZ if free, open-source browser control and approval settings matter most. Consider another tool if you need a browser-independent workflow, a managed model backend, or a product centered on research rather than browser action execution.

  • Requires your own DeepSeek or NVIDIA Nemotron API key
  • API charges are separate from the free open-source extension
  • Chrome-only, with a focus on browser actions rather than research
