Browser Use

Real browser automation with two modes: agent-browser for direct control via CLI commands, and browser-use for autonomous tasks where an LLM figures out the steps. You get Playwright under the hood with element refs that make clicking and scraping straightforward. Good for multi-step flows like form filling, authenticated sessions, or structured scraping from dynamic pages. The autonomous mode is interesting for open-ended tasks like pricing comparisons across sites, though you'll burn tokens. Google and Bing block headless browsers with CAPTCHAs, so stick to smaller sites or use DuckDuckGo. Refs reset on navigation, so snapshot after every page load.

Browser Use — Autonomous Browser Automation

Two complementary tools for browser automation:

Tool	Best for	How it works
agent-browser	Step-by-step control, scraping, form filling	CLI commands, you drive each action
browser-use	Complex autonomous tasks	Python agent that decides actions itself

Quick Start

agent-browser (recommended for most tasks)

# Navigate and inspect
agent-browser open "https://example.com"
agent-browser snapshot -i          # Get interactive elements with @refs

# Interact using refs
agent-browser click @e3            # Click element
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"      # Fill input (clears first)
agent-browser press Enter          # Press key

# Extract data
agent-browser get text @e1         # Get element text
agent-browser get attr @e1 href    # Get attribute
agent-browser screenshot /tmp/p.png # Screenshot

# Done
agent-browser close

browser-use (autonomous agent)

# Run a full autonomous browsing task
browser-use-agent "Find the pricing for Notion and compare plans"

The agent will navigate, click, read pages, and return a structured result.
