Browserbase

Give your AI agent a cloud browser it controls on demand

Your AI agent spins up isolated Browserbase sessions to navigate websites, extract content, and verify information in real-time. Customers get answers backed by live web data, not cached snapshots. Every session runs in managed cloud infrastructure with built-in stealth and CAPTCHA solving.

Cloud browser sessions your agent commands

From launching headless browsers to pulling session logs, your AI agent orchestrates Browserbase's infrastructure to access, verify, and act on live web content.

Use Cases

Browser automation meets conversation

Discover how businesses pair AI agents with Browserbase to run cloud browsers on demand, verify web content in real-time, and automate research without leaving a chat.

Live Website Verification for Customer Claims

A customer disputes that a product page shows a different price than what they were charged. Your AI agent launches a Browserbase session, navigates to the exact URL, captures the current page content as proof, and responds with what the site actually displays. The support team has evidence to resolve the dispute without manual screenshots or back-and-forth.

Authenticated Data Retrieval Across Sessions

Your operations team needs to pull data from a supplier portal that requires login. The AI agent uses a persisted Browserbase context with saved cookies, launches a new session that resumes the authenticated state, and retrieves the latest inventory report. No one manually logs in, copies data, or exports CSV files.

Debugging Failed Automations from a Chat Window

A developer asks, 'Why did last night's scraping job fail?' Your AI agent retrieves the Browserbase session logs, identifies the HTTP 403 error on the third request, and shows the exact URL that triggered it. The developer gets a diagnosis in seconds instead of digging through log files and dashboards.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent launch a Browserbase session during a conversation?

When the agent needs to access a webpage, it calls Browserbase's Create Session API with your project ID and optional parameters like region, proxy settings, and timeout. Browserbase provisions an isolated Chromium instance in the cloud within milliseconds. The agent then uses this session to navigate, extract content, or perform actions on any website.

Can the agent maintain login sessions across multiple conversations?

Yes. Browserbase's Contexts API lets the agent save cookies and browser state. The agent creates a context once, authenticates with a website, and then reuses that context in future sessions. This means logged-in portals remain accessible without re-entering credentials each time the agent needs data from them.

What data does Tars receive from Browserbase sessions?

Tars receives session metadata like status, URLs, and timestamps, along with network logs and any downloaded artifacts. The actual browser rendering happens entirely in Browserbase's cloud. Tars processes the returned data to formulate responses but does not run any browser instances itself.

Does Browserbase handle anti-bot protection automatically?

Yes. Browserbase includes managed CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies, and browser fingerprint generation. When the agent launches a session, these stealth features are applied by default. The agent does not need to configure anti-detection measures manually for each request.

How are Browserbase sessions billed when triggered by Tars?

Sessions are billed through your Browserbase account based on session duration. The agent can update a session to REQUEST_RELEASE status when tasks are complete, avoiding unnecessary charges from sessions running until timeout. Your Browserbase plan determines concurrency limits and included minutes.

Can I control which geographic region Browserbase uses for sessions?

Yes. When the agent creates a session, it can specify a region parameter like us-west-2 or us-east-1. This is useful for accessing geo-restricted content or reducing latency to target websites. If no region is specified, Browserbase selects its default routing automatically.

What happens if a Browserbase session times out during a conversation?

The agent detects the TIMED_OUT status when it queries session details. It informs the user that the browser session expired and can automatically launch a new session with a longer timeout if needed. Session artifacts generated before the timeout are still retrievable via the downloads endpoint.

How is using Browserbase through Tars different from calling the API directly?

Direct API calls require developers writing code for each interaction. Tars wraps Browserbase in a conversational interface so non-technical team members can launch sessions, check logs, and retrieve artifacts by asking questions in plain language. The agent handles API parameters, error handling, and result formatting automatically.
