Browser Agent

An agent specialized in operating a web browser to research, fill forms, scrape data, and complete web-based tasks.

A browser agent is the browser-scoped subset of computer use. Instead of driving the entire OS, it operates inside a headless or visible browser via tools like Playwright or Puppeteer, reading the DOM (or screenshots) and emitting clicks and inputs.

The browser is where most B2B work happens — CRM, support tools, dashboards, e-commerce — so browser agents have higher near-term commercial value than general computer-use agents. WebArena and the WebVoyager benchmarks measure performance. In production, browser agents are commonly used for competitive monitoring, lead research, and form automation where APIs don’t exist.
