What is Browser Use?

Browser Use is an open-source automation framework that enables AI agents to control web browsers programmatically. Built specifically for agent-driven browsing workflows, Browser Use allows developers to automate complex web interactions without writing custom Selenium scripts. The platform is recognized by makers of CopyCat, Local Operator, and Web Bench as foundational for agent-driven browsing. Browser Use supports multi-modal navigation with chain-of-thought tracking and provides session GIFs for debugging. The framework can hand off browser control to AI agents that use your real browser, which is particularly helpful for automating tasks that require authentication or session management. As a relatively new automation tool, Browser Use has gained traction among developers building AI agents and automation workflows, offering a simpler and more adaptable foundation compared to traditional browser automation libraries.
