An AI agent that completes browser workflows — form fills, logins, data extraction, multi-step flows — by combining computer vision with LLMs rather than hand-written selectors, so a single agent generalizes across sites it has never seen. Run it via the cloud app and API or self-host the open-source engine; bring your own model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local Ollama).

Capabilities 3

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • Browser automation (primary capability)
  • Web scraping (secondary capability)
  • Trigger-action automation (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Vision+LLM, no hand-written selectors
  • Generalizes to unseen sites
  • Self-hostable open-source core
  • BYO model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama)
  • AGPL-3.0 limits commercial reuse
  • Vision approach can be slower/costlier
  • Newer, smaller ecosystem

    Stagehand

    Browserbase

    Open-source SDK for building reliable AI browser agents.

    Stagehand is an SDK from Browserbase for building browser agents in TypeScript or Python. It exposes act(), extract(), and observe() primitives so you can drive a page with natural language while keeping deterministic code wherever you need it. v3 dropped its hard Playwright dependency for a modular Chrome DevTools Protocol driver.

    CDP-native v3 driver, no Playwright lock-in

    Browser Use

    Open-source browser automation for AI agents.

    MIT-licensed Python framework that connects AI agents to a real browser to navigate, fill forms, extract data, and run multi-step web workflows. It parses the live DOM into a structured view so any model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek — can act on it. A hosted Browser Use Cloud adds managed sessions and a fully-hosted agent.

    Steel

    Nen Labs

    Browser API for AI agents and apps.

    A batteries-included headless-browser sandbox that lets AI agents automate the web without managing browser infrastructure. Steel handles sessions, cookies, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and page-to-markdown/screenshot/PDF conversion behind a single API, built on Puppeteer and the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Run the open-source image locally via Docker or use Steel Cloud's managed browser fleet.

    Browserbase

    Browserbase

    Headless browser infrastructure for AI agents.

    Managed cloud fleet of headless browsers that let AI agents browse, authenticate, and act on the web at scale. Sessions ship with stealth proxies, automated CAPTCHA solving, and observability, driven via API or the open-source Stagehand framework. Usage-based billing on top of a monthly base plan.
