What Browserbase is
Browserbase is browser infrastructure for AI agents. It provides managed browsers, web data APIs, a runtime sandbox, identity handling, model access and observability, so agents can use a real browser for extraction, automation and testing.
The site states it handles forms, CAPTCHA and login prompts when a workflow meets them.
What you can do with it
- Give an agent a real browser session
- Run multi-step logged-in workflows
- Retrieve and fetch page context
- Replay sessions to debug prompts
Who it is for
- Developers building AI agents
- Startup and enterprise engineering teams
- Teams automating web workflows
What to watch out for
- Account authorisation, site terms, login session security, data retention and error recovery all need handling before production
- Automating a login means holding credentials; store and scope them carefully
- CAPTCHA handling may conflict with a site's intent; check that you are permitted
- It is infrastructure for developers, not a consumer browser
