Problem Statement Title: On-device Visual Perception for Light-weight Browser Agents
Theme: Smart Automation | PS Category: Software
Team Name: The Alchemists | Team ID: 120812
AgentO₃ is an enterprise-grade, privacy-first lightweight browser agent designed to perform autonomous web automation while guaranteeing absolute data privacy and security.
Traditional web browser agents stream raw visual screenshots, complete DOM trees, and un-sanitized user context directly to cloud-hosted Vision-Language Models (VLMs). This exposes critical user data—including email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, identity credentials, financial records, and facial images—to remote third-party API providers and centralized server infrastructure.
AgentO₃ eliminates this fundamental security vulnerability by shifting visual perception and privacy protection directly on-device.
Operating locally inside a lightweight browser extension environment, AgentO₃ executes visual perception and privacy protection directly on-device using a Dual-Mode Privacy Engine:
- Standard Mode (Ultra-Low Latency Rule Engine): Utilizes a high-performance pre-compiled pattern engine with 100+ sensitive entity groups (
email,password,card_number,otp,ssh_keys,private_keys,api_token, etc.) to instantly redact PII with <5ms latency. This mode handles 99% of routine web automation tasks (e.g. e-commerce ordering, web forms, social media scraping, and general browsing). - Advanced Mode (Local LLM Contextual Perception Mode): Used for 1% of complex, enterprise, or confidential organizational tasks (e.g. corporate cryptographic work, custom internal portal credentials, proprietary SSH key generation). It strips HTML script/style noise, constructs a JSON DOM tree, passes it to an On-Device Local LLM (WASM/WebGPU) to semantically identify novel confidential data, and prunes the HTML structure and screenshot prior to cloud transmission.
The cloud VLM receives strictly sanitized context, plans structured actions, and returns commands that are verified by a Local Control Gate prior to browser execution.

Below is a live demonstration comparing what the user sees locally on their browser versus what the cloud agent perceives after passing through the AgentO₃ On-Device Sanitization Layer:
The user fills out a sensitive registration form containing personal credentials, phone numbers, email addresses, passwords, credit card numbers, and a biometric photo.
| User View: Form Credentials (Top Section) | User View: Photo & Submission (Bottom Section) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Before any screenshot or DOM state is transmitted to cloud models, the AgentO₃ Local Privacy Gate sanitizes the payload on-device:
- Semantic Text Redaction: Replaces raw sensitive inputs (
narendra@pmo.gov.in,987654321,******) with red semantic privacy placeholders (<user mail>,<user phone>,<user pass>). - Real-Time Biometric Blurring: Detects facial regions in photos and applies local visual canvas blurring (
<FACE_BLURRED>). - Zero Raw PII Outbound: Transmits strictly sanitized context graphs and masked visual frames to cloud reasoning models.
The rapid deployment of autonomous browser agents and LLM-driven web automation has introduced unprecedented security, privacy, and economic risks. The tables below quantify the global and regional impact of data breaches, PII exposure rates, agent vulnerabilities, and resource inflation.

AgentO₃ introduces a Privacy-First Dual-Layer Architecture powered by a Dual Privacy Engine Mode that decouples local perception and execution control from cloud reasoning:
- Dual Privacy Modes (Standard vs Advanced):
- Standard Mode (Rule-Based Ultra-Low Latency Engine): Pre-grouped registry of 100+ sensitive entity types (
email,password,card_number,otp,phone_number,ssh_keys,private_keys,api_token). Operates with <5ms ultra-low latency handling 99% of routine tasks (e-commerce shopping, basic forms, social media scraping, and web navigation). - Advanced Mode (Local LLM Contextual Perception Mode): Used for 1% of complex enterprise or cryptographic workflows. Strips HTML noise, formats a JSON DOM tree, passes it to an On-Device Local LLM (WASM/WebGPU) to semantically identify novel confidential fields, and redacts them prior to cloud transmission.
- Standard Mode (Rule-Based Ultra-Low Latency Engine): Pre-grouped registry of 100+ sensitive entity types (
- Semantic Sanitization: Replaces private text values with structural placeholders (e.g.,
user@domain.com-><EMAIL>) and applies visual canvas blurring to face regions and confidential graphics. - Privacy Gate: Enforces a strict local boundary—unsanitized screenshots or DOM snapshots are completely blocked before outbound transmission.
- Cloud Reasoning: Cloud VLMs operate exclusively on sanitized, privacy-safe context to construct high-level reasoning steps and browser commands.
- Local Control Gate: Every cloud-generated action is intercepted locally and validated against user permissions, current browser state, and security policies before execution.
- Continuous Protection Loop: Every browser state change triggers automatic re-observation and re-sanitization for the next iteration.
| Mode Dimension | Standard Privacy Mode (Default) | Advanced Privacy Mode (Contextual) |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Engine | Pre-compiled Pattern Engine, Regex Registry (100+ Groups), Fast NER | On-Device Local LLM (WASM/WebGPU), JSON DOM Tree Parser |
| Latency Benchmark | Ultra-Low Latency (<5ms Overhead) | Adaptive Latency (Local LLM Inference Trade-Off) |
| Target Workflows | 99% of Routine Automation (Forms, E-commerce, Scraping) | 1% Enterprise/Crypto (SSH keys, corporate secrets, novel forms) |
| Redaction Target | Pre-defined PII (Emails, Passwords, Cards, OTPs, Phone, Keys) | Zero-Shot Contextual Confidential & Organizational Secrets |
| DOM Processing | Direct Input/Text Node Redaction | Script/Style Stripping -> JSON DOM Tree -> Local LLM Pruning |

- Adaptive Dual-Mode Privacy Engine: Integrates a <5ms Standard Rule Engine for 99% of routine tasks (forms, e-commerce, scraping) with an Advanced Local LLM Engine for 1% confidential enterprise/cryptographic workflows.
- Hybrid Perception: Integrates machine-readable structured DOM trees with visual scene perception, ensuring no element is missed.
- Semantic Redaction: Intelligent placeholders (e.g., converting
john@example.cominto<EMAIL>) maintain full contextual understanding for the LLM without revealing raw personal values. - Privacy Gate: Hard local barrier preventing un-sanitized screenshots or DOM snapshots from making outbound HTTP requests.
- Local Control Gate: Cloud-generated action vectors are strictly validated against permission rules before local browser execution.
- Continuous Protection Loop: Real-time state re-observation and re-sanitization after every single browser action.
| Category | Assessment & Empirical Support |
|---|---|
| Technical Feasibility | 96.63% of global browser installations support WebAssembly (WASM), providing a broad client execution baseline for lightweight ONNX models and local WASM/WebGPU LLMs. Chrome's 69.39% global market share makes Chromium Manifest V3 extensions practical for deployment. |
| Latency & Privacy Trade-off | Standard Mode executes in <5ms for 99% of routine tasks. Advanced Mode trades off minor local LLM processing latency to deliver 100% zero-shot privacy redaction for complex enterprise & cryptographic workflows. |
| Operational Feasibility | Delivered natively as a browser extension, avoiding complex desktop application installations. Combines local approval gates to mitigate the 60% of data breaches that involve human vulnerabilities. |
| Economic Feasibility | Directly addresses the average ₹25.5 crore data breach cost in India ($4.99 million globally). Keeps large-scale reasoning cloud-bound while client-side sanitization cuts payload sizes by 77.6%, dramatically saving bandwidth and API costs. |
| Scalability | The extension architecture works uniformly across web portals. Cloud VLMs scale independently while client inference handles local privacy transformation. |
| # | Potential Challenges & Risks | Strategies for Overcoming Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Limited Device Resources | Deploys quantized ONNX models running via WebGPU / WebAssembly (WASM). |
| 2 | PII Hidden from DOM | Multi-signal detection engine combining DOM parsing + OCR + NER + Vision models. |
| 3 | False Positive Detections | Cross-verification rules across visual and structural signals. |
| 4 | Context Lost After Redaction | Replaces sensitive strings with structured semantic placeholders (<EMAIL>, <PHONE_NO>). |
| 5 | Unsafe AI Actions | Structured command schemas validated by local allowlists and permission policies. |
| 6 | Prompt Injection | Strict content filtering and execution allowlist enforcement at the Local Manager. |
| 7 | Privacy Leakage | Enforces a strict local Privacy Gate with zero raw PII persistent storage. |
- Safer AI Browsing: Enables AI-assisted web workflows without routinely exposing private user screens to third-party cloud servers.
- Privacy-Critical Workflows: Unlocks autonomous AI assistance for financial, identity, healthcare, and enterprise platforms.
- Controlled AI Autonomy: Merges cloud intelligence with local authorization rather than giving cloud models unrestricted browser control.
- Enhanced Human Trust: Users retain absolute local boundary control over sensitive data and executable commands.
- Privacy-by-Architecture: Privacy protection is built directly into the execution loop rather than attached as an afterthought.
- Privacy: Detects and sanitizes sensitive visual and text data prior to transmission.
- Intelligence: Preserves cloud VLM/LLM reasoning capacity without sending raw screen data.
- Efficiency: Adaptive local inference minimizes heavy local compute while saving cloud bandwidth.
- Control: Every cloud-generated action passes through local policy verification.
- Data Minimization: Transmits strictly sanitized, task-relevant context to the cloud.
