PixieBrix

LayerX watches browsing for risk. PixieBrix guides the work itself.

PixieBrix transforms how your team works - right inside the browser. Automate tasks, trigger workflows, and embed custom UI elements into any web app. No context switching, no data risk, no backend engineering.

PixieBrix has helped solve one of our hardest operational problems - streamlining communication & product updates across support teams. Tracking and keeping everyone in the loop has yielded better agent performance, customer satisfaction & taken a huge burden off management.

How does PixieBrix compare to LayerX?

LayerX is built for browser risk management - an extension that monitors browsing, governs SaaS and GenAI usage, and blocks risky extensions (soon under the Akamai banner as Workforce Protector). PixieBrix is built for the work itself - it doesn't just flag a risky page, it changes what happens on it: masking sensitive fields, blocking unsafe copies, requiring justifications, and automating the busywork in between. Both deploy as lightweight extensions, so there's no migration either way. The difference is what you get beyond the block: with PixieBrix, teams also gain AI-powered workflows and UI enhancements in the same tools - protection that pays for itself in productivity.

What is PixieBrix?

PixieBrix is a low-code platform to create and run custom browser mods that boost your productivity.

How does PixieBrix work?

Once you install the PixieBrix Chrome extension, you can create mods with the Page Editor using building blocks - called bricks - to customize and automate your web experience. You can also get started with prebuilt mods in the public marketplace.

Can I use PixieBrix with my team?

Yes, Teams enable multiple accounts to share mods, service integration credentials, team databases, and more. Here’s our documentation on Teams.
