Headless browser infrastructure for AI agents
Browserbase provides cloud-hosted headless browser infrastructure that lets AI agents and applications reliably browse, automate, and extract data from the web at scale.
Browserbase is a cloud platform that runs managed, serverless headless browsers purpose-built for AI agents and automation workloads. It removes the need to operate your own fleet of browsers, offering features such as autoscaling concurrent sessions, stealth mode, automatic CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies, live session views, and session recording/replays for debugging. Developers connect over an API and SDKs (or via the open-source Stagehand framework and a Model Context Protocol server) to have agents authenticate, navigate dynamic sites, fill forms, and interact with web apps that lack APIs. The company also ships Stagehand (an AI browser automation framework) and Director (a no-code tool that turns plain-English instructions into browser workflows). Founded in 2024 by Paul Klein IV and headquartered in San Francisco, Browserbase serves AI companies including Perplexity, Vercel, and 11x.

Key Features
- ✓Managed headless browsers
Serverless, autoscaling cloud browser sessions for AI agents, with concurrency limits that scale from a few sessions on the free tier to 250+ on enterprise plans.
- ✓Stealth mode & CAPTCHA solving
Anti-bot stealth capabilities plus automatic CAPTCHA solving so agents can access sites that would otherwise block automated browsers.
- ✓Residential proxies
Built-in proxy bandwidth (metered per GB) that lets agents route traffic to avoid geo and IP-based blocking.
- ✓Session recording & observability
Live session views, logs, and replays for debugging agent runs across prompts and browser interactions.
- ✓Stagehand automation framework
Open-source (MIT) SDK for AI browser automation, letting developers drive browsers with natural language and code that adapts to site changes.
- ✓Director no-code automation
Tool that converts plain-English instructions into executable browser workflows for non-programmers.
Capabilities
Use Cases
- •AI web agents
Give autonomous agents a real browser to complete multi-step tasks like booking, form-filling, and account actions on live websites.
- •Web data extraction
Scrape and convert web pages into structured data (HTML, JSON, markdown) at scale, including sites protected by anti-bot measures.
- •Workflow automation for API-less sites
Automate interactions with web applications that don't expose APIs, such as portals, dashboards, and legacy systems.
