Browser Use provides AI agents and browser infrastructure for automating work on websites. Developers can delegate a task to a hosted agent or connect their own automation to a managed browser. It helps software complete website workflows where a usable API is missing, from collecting information to filling forms and downloading documents. Browser Use Agents accepts natural-language instructions and carries out multi-step tasks in a real browser. Teams can add browser actions to their products without building and operating the agent loop themselves. Typical workflows include cross-site research, authenticated document collection, data extraction, and repetitive work across customer or vendor portals. Browser Infrastructure provides remote Chromium sessions for existing agents, Playwright scripts, and Puppeteer automation. Features include browser stealth, residential proxy options, and automatic handling of supported CAPTCHAs. Teams keep control of their automation logic while Browser Use manages the browsers. Reusable browser profiles help preserve authenticated access between tasks. For developers who want to run and customize their own agents, the MIT-licensed browser-use Python library works with local or cloud browsers. Browser Harness, CLI tools, SDKs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) interfaces provide additional ways to connect browser capabilities to existing applications and agents. Browser Use serves developers building AI products, automation and data engineers, and software teams connecting business processes across third-party websites. Enterprise options include custom concurrency, SLAs, support, and negotiated data policies. Cloud services use pay-as-you-go pricing with no required subscription. Browser runtime starts at $0.02/hour, with network traffic billed separately. Hosted agents add model costs and a 20% service fee. Purchased credits do not expire, and eligible signups receive a one-time $15 cloud credit.
