Browserbase

Listed on The Agent-Native Index

A web browser for AI agents & applications

What it does

Browserbase provides managed, cloud-hosted headless browser infrastructure specifically for AI agents. Agents spin up isolated browser sessions via API, control them through Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium — or through the Stagehand SDK using natural-language web actions — and destroy them when done. The entire browser lifecycle is agent-controlled, with no human sitting at a keyboard.
