Short answer
How can I make my AI browse the web?
Your AI uses Browserbase to spin up a remote Chromium instance. This lets your agent interact with dynamic, JavaScript-heavy websites that standard scrapers can't handle. You'll see how the agent navigates and acts below.
The results
What your agent achieves
The outcomes of giving your AI a browser.
DATA
Deep web scraping
The agent navigates through complex menus and single-page apps to pull specific data. You get clean information from sites that usually block bots.
ACTION
Automated workflows
Your agent logs in, fills out forms, and clicks buttons on your behalf. It handles the tedious parts of web navigation without you touching a mouse.
VISUAL
Headless execution
The browser runs in a managed cloud environment. This keeps your local machine clean and ensures the agent has a consistent environment every time.
HUMAN
Manual intervention
If a site triggers a CAPTCHA or a weird popup, the agent stops. You step in to solve the hurdle, then hand control back to the AI.
The workflow
What your AI does when the task arrives.
The agent moves from a simple prompt to a fully functional browser session.
Provisioning
The agent requests a fresh, isolated browser environment in the cloud.
create_browser_sessionNavigation
The agent uses the session to load specific URLs and wait for elements to appear.
create_browser_sessionInteraction
The agent clicks, types, and scrolls through the page to reach a target state.
create_browser_sessionExtraction
The agent reads the final state of the DOM to gather the information you requested.

How this task behaves
- 01
Can the AI bypass all CAPTCHAs automatically?
No. While the agent can navigate many sites, it cannot bypass advanced bot detection on its own. You will need to handle those instances manually.
- 02
Does the AI save my login passwords?
No. The agent uses the session to perform actions, but it does not store or remember your credentials after the session ends.
- 03
Can it browse sites that require a mobile view?
Yes. The agent can provision sessions that emulate different device types to access mobile-specific layouts.
- 04
Will the AI delete my account if it clicks the wrong button?
The AI only performs the actions you explicitly instruct it to do. However, it cannot prevent a site from executing a command once the button is clicked.
- 05
Can I see what the agent is seeing?
Yes, the agent can capture screenshots of the browser state to show you exactly what is happening on the screen.
