Tako is a browser-local atomistic simulation workspace for quantum chemistry. Tako included a native jupyter notebook like interface and rich agentic support, making quantum chemistry more approachable. The underlaying chemistry Atomli reduced DFT compute by more then 10x without any compromise on accuracy, reduce compute cost.

Could you build this?
No Running quantum chemistry calculations (tight-binding, DFT, machine-learned interatomic potentials) locally in browser WebAssembly requires deep domain expertise in computational chemistry, physics algorithms, and low-level performance compilation.
What it would actually take: This requires compiling complex Fortran/C++ quantum chemistry and electronic structure engines (like xTB, Libxc) to WebAssembly via Emscripten, alongside optimized linear algebra runtimes (BLAS/LAPACK) and neural network inference runtimes (ONNX/Wasm SIMD/WebGPU) for ML interatomic potentials like NequIP. It demands deep numerical physics expertise to ensure convergence, energy conservation, and stability within browser memory limits, accompanied by WebGL/WebGPU shaders for atomistic rendering.
