| Better description: Pinokio is a free, open-source "AI
| browser" that simplifies installing, running, and managing
| complex, open-source AI applications and creative tools (like
| Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI) with one-click scripts, removing
| the need for coding or complex command-line setup.

| Huh. That doesn't sound like a browser at all. But okay,

| Neat demo, but feels like things need to come quite a ways to
| make this interesting.

| about anything and is extremely fast.
