Browser Use

Browser Use is an open-source library and cloud platform that lets AI agents control real web browsers to complete tasks on any website.

Overview

Browser Use gives agents a clean interface to browsers: the agent reads the DOM, decides on actions such as clicks, typing and navigation, and observes results until the task completes. Its open-source core became one of the fastest-growing agent projects, widely used for web automation, testing and data collection.

The cloud platform adds hosted browsers, session persistence, CAPTCHA handling and parallel scaling so teams can run thousands of agent sessions reliably. Because it is model-agnostic and Python-friendly, Browser Use slots into existing agent stacks and pairs well with frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI. Session recordings make it possible to debug exactly where an agent went wrong on a difficult site. The community shares recipes for common patterns such as login flows, scraping and multi-step forms.

Key Features

• Agent-driven browser control via simple Python API
• Cloud hosting with parallel, persistent browser sessions
• Vision and DOM reasoning for robust website interaction
• CAPTCHA, login and proxy handling for real-world sites
• Session recording and replay for debugging agent runs
• Model-agnostic design working with any capable LLM
• Integrations with popular agent frameworks and MCP

Pricing

Browser Use’s core library is open source and free to run with your own browsers and models. The cloud platform charges for hosted session time and parallelism, with a free trial and usage-based tiers designed for both hobbyists and production workloads. Self-hosting with your own browsers and model keys keeps marginal costs minimal, while cloud pricing tracks actual session time closely.

Who Is It For

Browser Use targets developers building agents that must operate real websites: automation engineers, data teams, QA testers and startups shipping browser-based agents. It suits anyone who needs reliable web action rather than scraping alone. QA and test automation teams also adopt it for flows that are awkward to script deterministically with traditional selectors.

FAQ

Is Browser Use free to use?

Yes, the open-source version is completely free. The hosted cloud platform offers a trial and then charges based on browser session usage and parallel capacity.

Does Browser Use offer an API?

Yes, the cloud platform provides APIs for launching sessions, running tasks and streaming results, and the open-source library can be wrapped in whatever service layer you need.

How does Browser Use compare to alternatives?

Browser Use offers more control and transparency than packaged browser agents, while being far easier than writing raw Playwright loops. Compared with general AI browsers it is infrastructure for builders rather than a consumer product. Browser Use is the default choice for builders who want transparent, scriptable agent control rather than a packaged product they cannot inspect.
