Description

AI-powered autonomous web browsing framework that enables agents to click, type, navigate, and extract data like a human, with support for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models.

Key Features

  • Natural language task execution — describe what you want and the agent navigates, clicks, types, and extracts data autonomously
  • Multi-model support via Vercel AI SDK — swap between OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google with a single flag
  • Interactive REPL for live browser sessions — drop into a browser prompt for debugging, prototyping, and exploration
  • Sandboxed execution with CPU/memory monitoring, timeouts, and domain restrictions
  • Production-ready with stall detection, cost tracking, session management, and replay recording
  • MIT licensed monorepo — core library, CLI, and sandbox package fully extensible

Use Cases

💡 Automated web scraping and data extraction from dynamic websites
💡 Form filling and multi-step workflows like signup flows or checkout processes
💡 Competitive intelligence gathering — monitor prices, features, and content across sites
💡 End-to-end testing of web applications using natural language test scripts
💡 Research automation — have agents browse and summarize information from multiple sources

Strengths & Limitations

✅ Strengths

  • • High community interest (9.5k stars)
  • • Permissive open-source license (MIT)
  • • Responsive to issues, low backlog
